Lori Seiler, PT, MPT
Clinic Director / Physical Therapist
“The best way to get a patient better is by making the patient want to come to therapy, and then using my knowledge acquired through schooling, many years of experience, and continued further education in my “specialty” areas to provide the best care that I can give. If that means trying new techniques, having a longer therapy session, getting the family involved, or whatever needs done, I’m up for it. I try to accomplish all patient and therapist goals in a timely and economical manner that best suits the patient.”
Joining the Phoenix Physical Therapy and Health Services, Inc. team in January 2015, Lori presently serves as facility director and lead physical therapist for Phoenix’s Altoona/Bellmeade outpatient center. Her clinical expertise includes manual therapy for the treatment of conditions related to general orthopedic and sports injuries, as well as, workers’ compensation injuries.
Outside of the office, Lori enjoys spending time with her husband and two young children in the Bellwood area.
