Sam Lawrence, PT, DPT
A Virginia native from Roanoke, I earned my Bachelor of Science from Shenandoah University in 2016 and my Doctor of Physical Therapy from Radford University in 2020.
Spending much of my college career in high-level sports playing both basketball and baseball at Shenandoah University, I experienced first-hand what it takes to make the return to that level of competition after an injury. While working through my own injuries and seeing the attentive and personal care my physical therapists provided, I found a new motivation to offer the same level of care in physical therapy. I have focused on sports rehabilitation to utilize my own experiences as an athlete to best identify issues and solutions with my patients.
Additionally, many of the principles utilized in sports therapy can also be applied to other populations, such as geriatric patients, and aid in improving their pain and overall quality of life. I am a Graston Technique® provider (M1) as of 2019 and am eager to expand my skill set to include other instrument-assisted and myofascial techniques to aid in the treatment of both sport and general populations.
