Lori Swanton, PT, DPT, FAAOMPT
Founder of Ability Physical Therapy
I started my journey as a physical therapist nearly 20 years ago.
Throughout my career, it has been my mission to walk alongside individuals to address the root cause of physical discomfort. Whether something feels “off” in the body or care is needed for nagging injuries, aches, or pains, I develop individualized plans to help patients achieve lasting relief. The focus of my practice is to thoroughly investigate all aspects of one’s physical health so individuals can become more confident in their bodies’ abilities. At Ability Physical Therapy, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach.
Being in a profession that allows me to help clients feel whole again brings me great joy. Over the years, I began recognizing that something was off in my own physical wellness. Even with my extensive training and knowledge about the body, I could not find a cause or solution for the discomfort, fatigue, bloating, anxiety, and burnout I was experiencing.
I know what it is like to do "all the right things" when it comes to your health and still feel less than 100%.
Digging deeper into what was going on in my body, I discovered I was battling an imbalanced gut microbiome and systemic inflammation. Even more frustrating, traditional medicine did not provide any answers or a solution to the root of these problems. After talking with countless other women, I realized I was not alone.
This kickstarted my journey into learning about inflammation’s impact on the body. What I discovered was life-changing, ultimately leading to the creation of Systems of Success. This process respects the idea that all symptoms and systems work and heal together. It recognizes that neglecting any area will impact how we show up for ourselves.
My life’s mission is to teach highly motivated individuals how to be in tune with their own bodies. That way, they can show up feeling their best and impact those in their lives with the healthiest vessel available.
