Peace Performance LLC

I’m a licensed pediatric physical therapist (DPT) with over 15 years of hands-on experience helping children of all abilities reach developmental milestones and goals through movement and play. I’ve worked directly with kids in schools, hospitals, clinics, and in-home therapy settings, collaborating closely with families, educators, and therapists. My expertise is in creating engaging, play-based, but purposeful-activities that support gross motor development, self-regulation, and learning through movement.

My teaching style is imaginative, playful, movement-based, and inclusive. I believe children learn best when their bodies are engaged, their imaginations are active, and their environment encourages exploration. I design activities that bring learning to life through creativity and purposeful play, making them both fun and achievable for all learners.

My most rewarding moments come from seeing children achieve goals their families once thought were out of reach, like taking their first independent steps, jumping with both feet, confidently joining group movement activities, or keeping up with peers at school and on the playground. I’ve had the privilege of mentoring students and educating therapists, medical providers, and educators. Each milestone a child reaches is a moment I truly treasure. I’ve also had the opportunity to collaborate with professionals across various settings, and my book Animals Move has been praised for its therapeutic impact and its adaptability in both classrooms and therapy sessions.

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Education and Allied Professions, followed by my Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree. My academic background laid the foundation for my passion in combining movement, play, and purposeful learning to support children of all abilities. I’m committed to lifelong learning and continually stay current with evidence-based practices that help children thrive and succeed.

I’m the founder of Peace Performance LLC, a Florida-based in-home and virtual physical therapy company serving clients of all ages and abilities. After undergoing two emergency surgeries and a long recovery, I poured my heart into creating Animals Move, a project born from my desire to help more children beyond the 1:1 therapy setting. When I’m not creating or treating, I enjoy spending time with my own children, being outdoors, and traveling. I’m passionate about inclusion and helping every child feel confident in their body and abilities. You can find me on TikTok @dr.loriblarge.pt and Facebook PeacePerformanceLLC.
