Sami Saunders

Sami Saunders, DPT, has a passion for lower extremity postoperative rehabilitation and return-to-sport training. She believes every patient is unique, and strives to tailor each treatment plan to meet their individual goals and needs. Sami’s journey into physical therapy began after experiencing a high school injury while participating in competitive cheerleading. That experience inspired her to pursue a career where she could help others recover, regain confidence and return to the activities they love. She completed her Doctor of Physical Therapy at University of St. Augustine in Florida. Sami feels especially grateful to do this work at Forté, where patient-centered care is at the heart of what the team does. Sami believes one of the most rewarding aspects of being a PT is helping patients get back to doing what matters most to them, while building meaningful relationships throughout their recovery journey.  

Outside of work, Sami enjoy staying active through Orangetheory classes and hiking, spending time outdoors with family and friends, and traveling to new places.
