Sam Hogan, PTA
I am a 2011 graduate of LeMoyne College and 2016 graduate of Merryhurst University’s Physical Therapy Assistant program. I have been a lifeguard, security officer and a crisis worker in behavioral health as well and a lifelong swimmer, which has led me to wanting to become a PTA and help people understand their body functions.
I focus on educating patients on the “why” as much as the “how”. I will ensure you understand how exercises tie-into your everyday activities, and develop strong and mind-body connections so that you can continue living the life you want while preventing re-injury down the road.
My wife and I live in Fayetteville with our 3 dogs and 1 cat.
