Dr. Tory Wilder Hadden, DPT, LSMC

I’m a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty certification in Lifestyle Medicine. I have a passion for helping people live the happiest, healthiest version of their lives.

My ultimate vision is to spark a shift from surviving to thriving, where healthcare isn't about managing symptoms, but about building the physical resilience required to live life to its fullest.


When I’m not working with patients, you can find me:

  • moving my body (strength training, dancing, hiking, gardening, and traveling)

  • fueling my body (experimenting with a tasty, new recipe)

  • resting my body (meditating, reading, practicing yoga, walking, and relaxing with my husband Dylan and our dog Luna).
