Lora Sherr is a skilled and compassionate physical therapist with a diverse medical and educational background. She earned her Bachelor’s Degree in Psychobiology from UCLA and went on to complete her Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) at the University of Southern California in 2003. With extensive experience in outpatient orthopedic settings, Lora has treated a wide variety of patients, from adolescent and college athletes to older adults focused on improving balance and mobility. Lora’s expertise includes advanced training in manual therapy techniques such as the McKenzie and Maitland methods, as well as post-surgical rehabilitation, aquatic therapy, taping techniques, Pilates, women’s health, and breast cancer rehabilitation.
