Dr. Sam is from Kansas City, MO and grew up with an active lifestyle. She was a competitive swimmer and has run 5 half marathons. Since graduating PT school at Maryville University, she has competed in CrossFit and powerlifting. She is also a certified USA Weightlifting Coach, which she uses to both coach and rehabilitate athletes.
Sam decided to pursue a career in physical therapy after a rotator cuff injury in high school that kept her out of swimming. She is no stranger to injuries holding you back from the things you love, and saw how starting with physical therapy got her back faster compared to her friends who went other routes with their injuries. She loved how she was able to strengthen asymmetries to heal her body naturally, and wants to do the same for others.
She enjoys working with active people of all ages and is passionate about getting you strong enough to do anything you want- from running marathons to PRing your squat.
Dr. Sam is available for appointments both in person and online.
