In physical therapy school, Tori took a series of musculoskeletal, neurological, and psychologically-based courses that prepared her to work in the outpatient orthopedic setting and provide treatment to individuals using a holistic approach. Additionally, Tori became certified as a strength and conditioning specialist to improve her ability to create sport-specific programming when working with the athletic population.

Additionally, Tori has experience working in the cardiac ICU where she provided cardiopulmonary rehabilitation to patients following cardiac surgery.
