Dr. Kori Reigel

PT, DPT

Dr. Kori Reigel, DPT, is an integrative physical therapist who combines traditional clinical expertise with a whole-body approach to healing. Originally from North Jersey, she brings together a background in science and athletics with a deep passion for holistic wellness. Dr. Reigel earned her B.S. in Exercise Science from the University of Delaware, where she was a four-year member and captain of the Division I Women’s Volleyball Team. She then completed her Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Neumann University, where a transformative service-learning experience in Peru sparked her commitment to blending traditional physical therapy with natural healing methods.

Dr. Reigel began her career in 2017 at a busy outpatient clinic in Northern Virginia, focusing on orthopedics, sports medicine, and injury prevention. In 2019, she joined private practice with a clinical model that aligned with her values—personalized, one-on-one care that treats the root of dysfunction rather than just managing symptoms. She is known for her ability to weave together movement science, postural restoration, and nervous system regulation into treatment plans that are both highly individualized and deeply impactful. Her approach draws from her advanced certifications and training, allowing her to treat the body as an interconnected system and address imbalances at their source.

In 2024, Dr. Reigel relocated to Wilmington, NC, inspired by the area’s vibrant wellness community and slower pace of life. Her integrative approach bridges traditional therapy with natural healing modalities, and she brings a desire to build meaningful connections with like-minded providers and patients. She currently offers in-person sessions, supporting people who want to move more freely, live without pain, and feel more at home in their bodies.

Patient Testimonials

“Kori is a wonderful, kind, caring and loving person. You can easily talk to her about anything. She is an extremely good listener. She will always figure out exactly what treatment you need and she has a wonderful way to explain everything and make you feel better and reassured. Every session is different and at the same time I learned so many different things from her that it will help me for the rest of my life.“

“I first began seeing Dr. Reigel after traditional physical therapy was unsuccessful when addressing my lower back pain. Little did I know I was about to be exposed to a plethora of healing modalities offered by Dr. Reigel. There is no one size fits all approach to healing and the care I received has been extremely personalized to fit my needs and daily activities! Dr. Reigel’s approach to treating my back pain went far beyond exploring the physical ailments I was experiencing. We explored my energy fields, posture, stressors, and even historical trauma that could be impacting my inflammation and overall mental/physical balance…truly getting to the root cause of my pain. I would have never thought I would have to be trained on how to breathe properly to get to the bottom of my back pain. Taking this holistic approach has been nothing short of amazing.“

“Kori will change your life in ways you never knew you needed or were possible. Before starting services with her, I felt completely hopeless. Now, I’ve started to develop a sense of inner peace I never thought would be attainable. Kori is the definition of caring and compassionate and she will welcome you without judgement.“
