Biography

Tori grew up in the Sierra foothills and moved to Bishop in January of this year. Prior to making a permanent move to the Eastern Sierra, Tori spent her time rock climbing all over the world, teaching yoga and leading climbing skills clinics. Through an active lifestyle she’s had her share of acute trauma and chronic pain. During her travels she gained exposure to various approaches to health based in Eastern and Western traditions. These experiences fueled an obsession with understanding the relationship between biomechanics and neuroscience. The desire to become an expert in helping others meet their goals, alongside a personal interest in health and movement led her to pursue a Doctorate in Physical Therapy.

Tori enjoys the process of getting to know her patients and working with them to meet their specific goals. Whether it’s getting out of bed or standing on a summit, everyone deserves to move better, feel better and live their best lives. When she’s not in the clinic, she can typically be found on the trails, rocks or snow with her dog Zephyr nearby.
