About Whorton Therapy

Two Clinicians. One Mission. Real Healing.

Whorton Therapy wasn’t born in a boardroom—it was born out of frustration.
As licensed therapists—and husband and wife—we saw the same thing happen again and again: good people getting dismissed, parents not bing listened to, medication given to mask pain, or being passed around from provider to provider with no real answers. We knew there had to be a better way.
So, we built it.
At Whorton Therapy, we combine expert care with a holistic, faith-based approach that actually works. No insurance red tape. No copy-paste plans. Just personalized treatment that sees the full person—body, mind, and spirit.

Meet the Founders

Dr. Laurie Whorton, PT, DPT

Laurie leads our pediatric care and has a heart for helping kids thrive from the start. With decades of experience, she specializes in treating infants with flat head (before it requires a helmet), toddlers with motor delays, and kids who just aren’t “catching up” the way parents hope. Her passion is prevention—catching small problems before they become lifelong issues.

Rev. Dr. Lance Whorton, DMin, MSPT

Lance began specializing in chronic headaches and TMJ after watching Laurie suffer for years without relief. When traditional approaches failed, he created his own method—one that blends advanced manual therapy, nervous system regulation, and faith-based care. The result? Lasting change for hundreds of patients who had “tried everything else.”

What Patients Say

“No one’s ever explained it to me like that.”
“I’ve seen multiple specialists—this is the only thing that’s helped.”
“You actually listened. And you actually helped.”

Our Vision

We created Whorton Therapy for the people no one else could help—because we’ve been there. And we believe your “normal pain” isn’t normal.

Why We’re Different

Same therapist every time—no bouncing around
Sessions that go deeper than just exercises
Honest answers, not more prescriptions
Spiritual insight that supports true healing

Company verse: 3 John 1:2 – NASB 1995

“Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers.”

How We Got Our Start

Since graduating with their physical therapy degrees in the early 90s, Laurie and Dr. Lance have seen many changes in the healthcare system. Some of these changes have been excellent and needed; however, it is well known that the personal aspect has changed. We have felt the pressure to see multiple people at once, decrease treatment time and the increased control by insurance companies. As a result, patients get less and less one on one time with their therapist. Often being forced to see multiple therapists during the course of treatment. This can cause confusion regarding your care and delay in recovery time.

Whorton Therapy was born out of our belief that there is a better option. What if you could receive therapy one on one? What if you and your therapist decided the best course of treatment, not the insurance company? Whorton Therapy is an out of network provider for all insurances. This enables us to be free of micromanagement of your healthcare. Call us today and see the difference being out of network and in control of your recovery can make!
