About Tori Heckendorn PT, DPT & Devin Reilley PT, DPT
Tori and Devin have been traveling physical therapists for the last 4 years. They are from New Jersey and have traveled to Arizona, Maine, South Carolina, Massachusetts, North Carolina, California, Washington, and Colorado. They are currently on their tenth travel assignment and love being able to combine their careers as physical therapists with their passion for travel.

The hardest part of travel is leaving behind amazing friends made in each state, but this gives them more reason to go back and visit!
