About

Eric Christian Reichardt, PT, MPT

Eric Reichardt has been practicing as a licensed physical therapist in the Roanoke Valley of southwest Virginia since 1999. He was born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri. Early on while attending high school, Eric found his passion for exercise, outdoor activities, sports, health and wellness. This is where he developed his lifelong goal of incorporating his passion into ownership of a Physical Therapy (PT) business that could help others achieve their health and wellness goals. He attended the University of Richmond from 1989 to 1993 graduating with a major in Biology and a minor in Health and Sports Science. Soon after graduation, he was hired by BarnesCare Corporate Health Services where he provided PT Technician services, performed pre-employment isokinetic evaluations, and helped develop back school programs for employees of both small and large St. Louis area corporations. It was this work experience that solidified his decision to seek a degree in PT. Eric’s vision came into focus with strong support and innovative collaboration from his wife Angie whom he met while attending graduate school at Midwestern University in Downers Grove, Illinois. They graduated together from the Master’s program of Physical Therapy with MPT degrees in 1998. Eric was honored as the president elect of his graduating class and received the Midwestern University Outstanding Leadership Award. Shortly thereafter, Eric and Angie settled in Roanoke, Virginia and began their PT careers. Eric later pursued ownership in an independent outpatient orthopedic PT clinic, Spine and Orthopedic Rehab of VA (SORVA), and has been proud to offer premier, efficient and effective PT services with courteous and highly trained staff to residents of Roanoke VA and the surrounding area since its inception in 2002. Eric is certified in dry needling (includes a post-graduate certification through Myopain Seminars in Bethesda Maryland, and two certifications through the American Dry Needling Institu
