Our Staff
Dr. Jordan Lance, PT, DPT, CLT, MLD-PPS
Founder & Lead Physical Therapist
Dr. Jordan Lance is a dedicated and passionate physical therapist with a strong commitment to individualized, evidence-based care. A proud Florida native, Dr. Lance earned his undergraduate degree in Exercise Science from Florida Gulf Coast University, graduating Cum Laude. He went on to complete his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of Lynchburg, where he served as the president of his cohort.
While still a student, Dr. Lance pursued advanced training in lymphedema management, earning his Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT) designation through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies. He then completed an intensive clinical mentorship under a seasoned CLT, refining his expertise in treating swelling disorders and complex wound care. Dr. Lance further expanded his clinical skill set by training under a neurologic rehabilitation specialist, where he focused on vestibular therapy, balance deficits, and neurological pathologies.
Dr. Lance formally served as the Lymphedema Rehabilitation Representative for the Local Sarah Cannon Cancer Network Chapter, where he developed specialized rehabilitation programs for oncology patients—an extension of his deep passion for serving those navigating cancer recovery.
His inspiration to enter the field of physical therapy is deeply personal: witnessing his grandmother regain her independence and mobility through physical therapy after a hip fracture sparked a lifelong commitment to helping others experience the same transformation.
Dr. Lance is especially passionate about working with individuals experiencing swelling-related conditions, dizziness, balance challenges, and those undergoing oncological care. His approach is hands-on, empathetic, and always tailored to the unique needs of each patient.
When he’s not in the clinic, you’ll likely find Dr. Lance out on the water—fishing, scuba diving, or boating—enjoying the natural beauty of the Gulf Coast he proudly calls home.
