Personalized orthopedic and pelvic floor physical therapy care.

Refine Physical Therapy and Wellness was born in response to seeing a need for individualized, one-on-one physical therapy treatment. I take a holistic approach to patient care. Patient treatment, with Refine PT, involves assessing each individual’s mobility throughout all body regions; lifestyle factors such as sleep, stress, and nutrition; and relating these components to current pain or movement limitation.

I’m Dr. Nicole Lorenz.

I graduated from Wayne State University with my Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2012. My career started with a passion for treating orthopedic and athletic injuries. As an avid runner and triathlete, it has been my passion to help others improve their mobility in order to achieve their health and fitness goals. During my graduate education I was introduced to Pilates and its complementary nature to physical therapy. I pursued training in Pilates and am a STOTT certified instructor.

My interest and clinical practice in women’s health, and pelvic floor physical therapy developed over the course of my own pregnancies. Even as a medical practitioner, I found it difficult to find information related to safely incorporating fitness and athletic activities during pregnancy. This lead me to advanced training in the evaluation and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.

My treatment approach utilizes a combination of manual/hands-on therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (ie: Graston technique), and strengthening/movement retraining to address each individual’s pain and mobility restrictions.

  • WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

    Dr. Nicole Lorenz is an incredible therapist, who made me feel comfortable and took the time to explain anatomy to me so that I understood what was going on in my body. She provided me with exercises that were precise, clear and well-written. She actively pursues advanced study in order to better serve her patients. I highly recommend her to anyone for general physical therapy or in women’s pelvic floor support.”

  • WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

    This is a review for people who are not athletic, or have a disability, and are looking for someone who will make them feel comfortable and empowered to fix an issue. Dr. Lorenz is an exceptionally knowledgeable physical therapist. She taught me so many skills to build core muscles and help me with my back pain. She showed me that I didn't have to live in pain with scoliosis; that through diligent work and careful exercise I could work on my posture and lower back pain. I have a heart condition so I am not physically a strong person. Dr. Lorenz immediately put me at ease. I never felt embarrassed or like she was asking me to do something I couldn't do. She met me where I was at. I would absolutely go back to Dr. Lorenz.

  • WHAT THEY’RE SAYING

    Dr. Nicole is a highly skilled professional. Working with her has helped my pain and improved my spinal mobility. Her office is cozy and I enjoy the personalized attention. If you are looking for a quiet and focused PT session, I would consider setting up an appointment.
