Lorrie Harper MSPT, CVTP
I am a physical therapist with extensive training in hands-on (manual therapy) techniques and exercise methods. I’m a dedicated student of human anatomy, human movement, and I’m passionate about helping people feel better.
During my 34-year career as a physical therapist I’ve worked with a variety of clients in a myriad of environments including hospitals, rehabilitation centers, orthopedic clinics, nursing homes and therapeutic swimming pools. With every client, every environment, every new certification I’ve asked, what more can I do to help people feel better and move better so they can pursue the activities that bring them joy?
In pursuit of this goal, I continue my studies in human anatomy, human movement, and manual therapies. I have a successful clinic in Eden, Utah focused on manual therapy and intelligent movement. In 2018, I became an instructor for the Barral Institute teaching Visceral Manipulation. In addition, I am a teaching assistant for nearly all the Barral Institute curriculum including manual therapies for the vascular system (blood vessel), neural system (nerves) and manual articular (bones, muscles, joints and joint capsules). I continue to teach classes, teach study groups and offer direct mentorship to fellow physical therapists, bodyworkers and manual therapists in the intermountain west and beyond.

Lorrie Harper’s Practice Philosophy
To provide specific, precise manual therapy and intelligent exercises that help reduce pain and restore optimal strength, alignment, and function, so you can feel good, move with ease and live your best life.
Integrative Manual Therapy
Our bodies tell the story of our past – illnesses, injuries, surgeries, infections, traumas, and play gone astray.
In some stories we escape unscathed – so we think – and in others we came out with long-term pain, limited movement, loss of function and loss of the ability to move through life with comfort and ease.
With hands-on techniques I listen to your body’s story and use specific, precise, Integrated Manual Therapy techniques to release the tissue restrictions causing pain and dysfunction, resulting in less pain, improved alignment, improved function, and overall well-being.

“After three years of practicing with her I’m stronger, leaner and better than I was before the first mishap…”
“She said that a ligament associated with my liver was tight and pressing on the area where food passes from my esophagus to my stomach. I noticed improvement the moment I left that first session. The discomfort in my lower chest had diminished… I can eat and drink without discomfort.”
