Did you know chronic pain doesn’t always mean something is still injured?

Pain is complex — and often it lingers because the body isn’t moving well, not because tissue is still damaged.

That’s why stretching, medications, and passive treatments often don’t work long-term.

At Sampsell Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness, we assess how your whole body moves — not just where it hurts — so we can restore real function and reduce pain for good.

You deserve real answers.
You deserve a plan that actually works.
You deserve to feel hopeful again.

"Referred to Eric by a friend after re-injuring an old ACL tear. Knew NOTHING about Red Light Therapy (laser) but left a believer! My knee has not felt this good since 2007! It has been life-changing for me! My last treatment was 2 months ago and I am still going strong!! So thankful!"

Still stretching your hips every day… but they still feel tight?

That constant tension isn’t just about flexibility — it’s your body compensating for weakness, especially when the deep core and glutes aren’t doing their job.

At Sampsell Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness, we don’t just chase symptoms — we restore balance, strength, and proper movement control. That’s the foundation of functional wellness: treating the why, not just the what.

➡️ Swipe through to learn why your hips stay tight — and how we help you fix it for good.

Let’s break the cycle of chronic tightness.
Book your personalized hip mobility + stability assessment today and feel the difference functional care makes.

“I’ve been doing all the right exercises…”
But are they actually fixing the problem — or just feeding dysfunction?

Too often, we try to rehab ourselves with YouTube workouts, cookie-cutter strength programs, or gym routines that miss the real issue: how your body moves as a system.

At Sampsell Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness, we don’t just treat pain — we restore functional movement. That means identifying the root cause, correcting faulty mechanics, and retraining your body to move the way it was designed to.

Humor is a shortcut to connection. Scroll your saved memes or find one that perfectly fits your friend’s situation. Send it, because it can give someone a mental distraction even if it’s only for a few seconds. A meme can be a modern-day “thinking of you.” The best ones make people laugh, and they remind them they’re seen.

When you've tried PT before — and it felt generic, rushed, or ineffective — it's easy to assume they're all the same.

But they’re not.

At Sampsell Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness, we approach care differently:
• 100% one-on-one
• No techs, no handoffs
• Root-cause evaluation that goes beyond your symptoms

And for many of our patients, that difference becomes obvious — fast.

Here’s what one of them shared:

“Eric is a true professional who develops individual, tailored therapy and pushes his clients to reach their full potential. He truly cares about his patients and provides a private and comfortable setting. We noticed a huge difference in his approach and methods compared to previous PT providers we had seen. Highly recommend!!!”

If you've started to accept that chronic pain is just part of your life... it doesn't have to be.

Losing your balance more often?

It’s not just age — it’s how your body has (or hasn’t) been trained.

Over time, stiff ankles, weakened hips, and an under-stimulated nervous system all chip away at your ability to stay steady… especially in real-world situations like uneven ground, quick turns, or reaching overhead.

But here’s the good news: balance can be rebuilt.

🦶 Mobility
💪🏼 Strength
🧠 Brain-body retraining

All of it matters — and all of it is part of how we help you move with confidence again.

Knee pain keeps coming back because the knee isn’t the problem.

What’s actually happening is explained below 👇

• Knees rely on hips and ankles
• Poor shock absorption increases joint stress
• Weak glutes increase valgus collapse
• Stiff ankles limit load distribution
• Pain changes movement patterns
• Strength without alignment fails
• Gait mechanics matter more than mileage
• Early intervention prevents degeneration
• Confidence reduces guarding
• Movement retraining reduces recurrence

Fix how you move — not just where it hurts.
If you've been stuck in the cycle of rest, rehab, and relapse... you're not alone.
You deserve real answers, real adjustment, and real progress.

"I highly recommend Eric Sampsell as a physical therapist. He provides personalized one on one therapy. At first meeting he asked a lot of questions and had me do a few things to assess how my pain was affected. With each new treatment he would assess before and after to see how I responded. I went in for lower back pain and pain that shot down the back of my leg and into my heel when I sat. It had become a struggle for me to drive anywhere. I am quite pleased with my current lack of pain. He has also given me helpful advice to help my Achilles tendons heal. I think his pricing is reasonable, but be forewarned that as an individual provider he does not process insurance. He is out of network and provides what he calls a Superbill with all the information you need to fill out an out of network claim to your insurance yourself. I have 'graduated' from the need for regular visits, but he has assured me that I can call, text, or email him any time I have a concern or need for advice."

Did you know ankle stiffness can cause knee and back pain?
Most people don’t — and it’s why traditional rehab often misses the mark.

Your ankles are part of your foundation.
When they’re stiff, everything above has to compensate — especially your knees, hips, and spine.

At Sampsell Physical Therapy & Functional Wellness, we treat chronic pain by treating the full movement system — not just the part that hurts.

👇 Here’s how ankle stiffness throws the rest of your body off:

• Poor dorsiflexion = poor squat mechanics
→ Knees collapse or shift forward, stressing the joint.

• Restricted ankle mobility forces overuse of hips/spine
→ Especially during walking, running, stairs, or lifting.

• Uneven weight distribution
→ Causes one side of your body to overwork (and eventually hurt).

• Altered gait patterns
→ Leads to imbalances, tightness, and increased back stress.

• Compensation becomes chronic
→ What started in your ankle becomes an issue everywhere else.

You’re not out of options. You just haven’t found the right approach — yet.
Schedule your Foot + Ankle Movement Screen today and finally address what’s driving the pain upstream.
