Lori Rassiccia

Lori is our chiropractic assistant who helps our patients with their rehabilitation, stretching, and laser therapy. She began studying strength training and corrective exercise after years of suffering from pain from sciatica and various muscle imbalances. She wanted to know everything she could about the musculoskeletal system, the mind-body connection, and all aspects of human movement. She wants to help everyone to learn to work with their bodies, to heal dysfunction instead of yielding to the pain. For over 10 years, she has spent most of her free time studying fitness, strength, and learning how the human body functions as a unit. There is so much to learn every day and she hopes she can help you get back to moving comfortably. She decided to seek out the root causes of her discomfort rather than quick fixes for short-term relief. Chiropractic care, acupuncture, and massage therapy, and strength training were an integral part of her journey and she wanted to understand how it all works. When she discovered that strengthening and balancing her foundational and postural muscles gave her not only long-term relief but also complimented her therapies, she was intrigued.
