Breakout Physical Therapy & Wellness
A Physical Therapist and Coach for high-achieving individuals in Alaska, who are motivated and eager to return to activities they love doing after being sidelined by pain or fear of injury.
Meet Sam
Physical Therapist, Coach, & Wellness Enthusiast
I was born and raised in Anchorage, AK, and am now living here full time.
My goal with Breakout Physical Therapy and Wellness is to provide education, injury prevention and support for each client to grow in wellness and return to the activities they love!
-
Growing up, I was a part of the Alaska Swimming community. I have been able to provide on-land strength and conditioning programming to set each athlete up for success and prevent injury with local swim teams. I also currently coach swimming for a local high school team.
When I’m not at the pool, you’ll find me working as a float PT with Providence Health and Services.I provide PT services to patients at all steps of their care journey, approaching each person with the same passion and eagerness as the clients I work with as part of Breakout PhysicalTherapy and Wellness.
What We’re All About
The Process That Gets You Back To Doing What You Love
-
The first stage is the relief stage.
Our goal is to get pain down, ease your worries, provide activity modification, and positioning education.
The goal is not to stop you from doing the things that you love, but rather support you while doing them and getting you to be more comfortable.
-
The second stage is the rebuild stage.
Typically with any period of pain, we lose strength in our muscles because we’ve been working hard to compensate for the painful areas.
Our goal in the stage is to rebuild the strength that’s lost and rebuild habits that will allow you to return to your activities pain-free.
-
Our final stage is the return stage.
This is my favorite part! Not only will we be getting you back pain-free to what you would love to do, we will keep working on strength and power to not only get you back to where you were, but better than you were before.
You likely will see me less often during this time, but I will still be available for you to bounce ideas off of just to check in to see how things are going.
Values
-
There is no “one size fits all” approach in this program.
Each person is different, and I firmly believe their program should reflect that. This is a place for you to be unique, and for us to celebrate that!
-
Although I typically work with clients following an injury as a physical therapist, I would rather promote injury prevention.
I love providing education on topics that allow clients to be informed and empowered through their own health.
-
My role is simple - provide you the tools to improve your quality of life and reach your goals. I stand along side you and support you every step of the way.
I want to be your biggest cheerleader and provide accountability to your daily life.
