Our Story
Dr. Lori Alexander, MSPT, DPT, CLT founder of The Physical Therapy Zone, began her career as a physical therapist working for the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Dr. Alexander had moved to Rochester after graduating from Boston University Sargent College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences in 1996. During her five years working for the Mayo Clinic, she specialized in inpatient and outpatient orthopedics, pediatrics and vestibular rehabilitation.
In 2001, Dr. Alexander and her husband moved to his home town of Alexandria, Virginia. Since settling in Alexandria, she worked for seven years at the Virginia Hospital Center-Arlington, specializing in orthopedics.
In 2008, Dr. Alexander started her own home health physical therapy private practice to provide patients with physical therapy in the comfort of their homes. During this time, she heard that many outpatient clinics were now limiting the time their therapists spent working directly with patients, with some clinics allowing a mere 10 minutes of one-on-one care during an appointment. Dr. Alexander wanted to change that so she opened her own outpatient physical therapy private practice to provide patients with more personalized care.
In 2011, Dr. Alexander opened The Physical Therapy Zone in Alexandria. Located in the heart of historic Old Town, she wanted her clinic to be convenient to where Northern Virginians play, live and work. But she also wanted her clinic to have the same, patient-first focus as her home healthcare practice. At The Physical Therapy Zone, Dr. Alexander has put this vision into action.
