Samantha Dutrow, PT, DPT

Samantha is a midwest native and graduated from Truman State University in Kirksville, Missouri with a Bachelors degree in Exercise Science and then went on to earn her Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Southern California. Samantha has experience working with children in a variety of treatment settings, including: acute care, early intervention, schools, outpatient, and acquatic therapy. She has worked with children with various diagnoses including but not limited to: Down Syndrome, autism spectrum disorder, Prader-Willi, hyptonia, developmental delay, cerebral palsy, torticollis, Cornelia de Lange syndrome, DiGeorge Sydrome, and Trisomy 8 syndrome. In addition she has experience using the Universal Exercise Unit and TheraTogs. Samantha utilizes her knowledge of movement analysis to identify improper movement strategies and develop treatment sessions to help children develop the resources, strength, and coordination needed to move, play, and function more efficiently and effectively. She enjoys working with parents to develop physical therapy goals that are meaningful and will help the child achieve his or her greatest potential both in the near future and later in life. Samantha has always been a 'kid at heart' and enjoys being creative and coming up with fun ways to make her kiddos laugh, play and enjoy their therapy sessions while growing stronger and achieving their goals at the same time.

"I believe tharapy should involve enough fun and imagination that a child not only enjoys their therapy sessions, but looks forward to them and doesn't realize how hard they are working." Stacy M. Menz
