Cash based physical therapy and wellness business run by Sam Fox PT, DPT.

I do things a little bit different around here, but that’s because I fully believe that access to physical therapy should be different than “the norm”.

When working with me, you should expect me to:
- promote individualization of care
- use injury prevention and education as a foundation of wellness
- guide your journey, but you’re the one in charge!

There is no “one size fits all” approach. Every person is different, and I firmly believe their program should reflect that. This is a place for you to be unique, and for us to celebrate that!

Although I typically work with clients following an injury as a physical therapist, I would rather promote injury prevention. I love providing education on topics that allow clients to be informed and empowered through their own health.

My role is simple - provide you the tools to improve your quality of life and reach your goals. I stand along side you and support you every step of the way. I want to be your biggest cheerleader and provide accountability to your daily life.

Want to learn more? Comment “GUIDE” and I will get you set up with a FREE Discovery Call. No strings attached - I just want to share more about why I do what I do, and how I can help you reach your ultimate potential.

We believe that wellness should be front of center in your life. Every person has a different approach, but here’s why Breakout Physical Therapy and Wellness is different:

We focus on prioritizing the 3 R’s:

- Getting you relief:
Our goal is to get pain down, ease your worries, provide activity modification, and positioning education.
The goal is not to stop you from doing the things that you love, but rather support you while doing them and getting you to be more comfortable.
- Rebuilding your strength:
Typically with any period of pain, we lose strength in our muscles because we’ve been working hard to compensate for the painful areas.
Our goal in the stage is to rebuild the strength that’s lost and rebuild habits that will allow you to return to your activities pain-free.
- Returning you to better than before:
This is my favorite part! Not only will we be getting you back pain-free to what you would love to do, we will keep working on strength and power to not only get you back to where you were, but better than you were before.
You likely will see me less often during this time, but I will still be available for you to bounce ideas off of just to check in to see how things are going.

If you’re interested to learn more about what I can do to help support these 3 stages, contact me on my website to get started: 🔗breakoutptandwellness.com. I look forward to hearing from you!

2025 is nothing like I expected, but I am so grateful for every single second, opportunity, and connection I made.

As we move into 2026, I’m looking forward to meet more clients where they are & get them back to doing what they love! Also, continuing to grow as a clinician, business owner, mom, athlete, and person.

Dreaming for 2026 is still ongoing, but there’s no deadline or rush to reach my goals. They’ll happen when I’m ready, not earlier or later.

Offering this permission if you need it: you don’t need to set new goals just because it’s a new year. You don’t need to achieve them publicly or loudly. Let your goals meet you where you are - and grow together from there.

AND, if you need someone in your corner, I’m always here 💕

Hello from Breakout Physical Therapy and Wellness!

As a typical “do-it-all” type of person, the adjustment to a new normal has been a challenge!

I still am prioritizing this business, but my priorities look a little different these days 😊 taking care of me & my family allows me to show up here for the clients I work with.

I have so many cool people I’ve been able to work with, both as clients and through the businesses I’ve been working with in our community ( ).

Grateful for another year of growth coming in 2026. Can’t wait to make this next one the best year yet!!

I love being able to exercise because of the benefits & where it gives me a boost in my day.

Here are 3 body areas that exercise can boost your health and wellness.

Muscles 💪🏽 - of course, we know this! Using our muscles helps them to become stronger and more coordinated. You’ve probably heard the term: “Use it or lose it!”. The more we use our muscles, the longer we will be able to!

Bones 🦴 - the action of your muscles pulling on your bones causes them to become stronger due to something called “Wolff’s Law”. Completing impact activity (like walking and running) can improve the force that goes through your bones and cause them to strengthen.

Brain 🧠 - in order to move our body to complete exercise, our brain has to coordinate the movements. The more we exercise, the smoother coordination of the exercise. Exercise also helps release endorphins, which generally improves our mood.

Which one of these was a surprise? Drop the number in the comments below 🔽

With discussion from this community, our September challenge is going to be completing 25 pushups each day!

I was a little nervous to have this be the chosen activity, because I have never been good at push-ups (nor liked them very much!).

Guidelines:
- THESE CAN BE STRAIGHT OR BROKEN UP THROUGHOUT YOUR DAY.

- THEY CAN BE ON THE WALL, AT AN INCLINE, OR ON THE GROUND.

- NO KNEE PUSH-UPS. IF YOU NEED TO MAKE PUSH-UPS LESS CHALLENGING, PLACE YOUR HANDS ON A HIGHER SURFACE (LIKE THE WALL OR A COUNTER). *this helps get your body prepared for pushups on your feet as your muscles get stronger*

I find that the prospect of challenging myself to something I haven’t always liked is awesome! I am looking forward to seeing how my push-ups improve this month. I’ll be showing different positions to do your pushups in on my stories throughout the month (cause I can’t start on the ground or I won’t get to all 25!)

Tag someone you’re planning to do September’s challenge with!

It’s been a while, with lots of changes around here, so I wanted to take a moment to re-introduce myself!

I’m Sam, a physical therapist, wellness enthusiast, and owner of Breakout Physical Therapy and Wellness.

I love working with clients who are motivated, and eager to make healthy changes to get them back to the activities they love doing!

Here’s a little bit about me -

I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, and am now living here with my family to give back to this community!

I attended Boise State University, where I was a collegiate division 1 swimmer, qualifying to compete at three NCAA Championships and Olympic Trials in 2016!

I have been a PT since 2020 (which was a crazy time to enter into the health care world!)

I married my sweet husband Kenny in 2023. I am a proud dog mama to our Lena girl, and just welcomed a new addition in July 2025, our son Cooper!

I still swim for fun and exercise with my friends, and am working hard to support my body and improve strength after carrying our son for 9 months.

This is a new challenge for me to tackle, and I am using the same methods & encouragement I use with my clients in my own journey. As I continue to grow and change, I plan to share this with this community, because I believe that transparency, realness, and truth is important!

I also just want to share how grateful I am for each person in this community - so thank you for being here!

We’ve had over a month with this guy earth side - and let me tell you, it’s been a pretty steep learning curve! Lots of trial, error, and sweet baby snuggles each day.

With all this new, it’s made me realize, with any new task, just how important it is to ease into things, to ask for help when needed, and to give yourself grace as you are learning. Admittedly, I am not very good at those things typically. I like to think that this new phase of life is helping me to improve on myself as well. I will keep you updated :)

I share this with you as I am working on getting back into the office, and opening up my schedule to seeing clients. Now that it’s back to school season here, schedules are changing. It’s the perfect time to make a change with your routine as well. I want to encourage you that if you’ve been having pain, or something nagging at you that’s been keeping you from doing activities that you love to do, REACH OUT! I would love to talk with you more about what’s important to you so we can get you back to doing it.

For those of you who have been here from the beginning, thank you! I love being able to follow your journey along and play a small part in it!

In the coming days, I will be sharing an update to my schedule through the fall so you know when I am able to best serve you as I am navigating the rest of my maternity leave from my hospital job.

DM me “DISCOVER” to set up your FREE Discovery Call. I look forward to seeing you back in the office!

I’m back!! (After a small hiatus)

April was busy and not too many fun & exciting things happened. I was sick and then we had family in town (that part was fun!).

Hit the 30 week mark on growing our little guy & we are looking forward to continuing to push forwards to meeting him in 10 short weeks!

If your job has the ability to adjust your desk between sitting and standing, you should try it! There are a couple different adjustments you’ll need to make to get set up for success.

The platform height of your desk is approximately at your standing elbow position (same position as they would be if you were sitting).

The keyboard and mouse are aligned as you would when you are sitting.

The height of the monitor should still be between horizontal and 35 degrees below.
Wear supportive footwear.

Consider the use of an anti-fatigue mat.

Use a footrest when standing to help shift your weight as needed, or shift your weight from leg to leg occasionally.

Send this to someone who uses a standing desk for school or work!

One thing that I like to think about with Valentine’s Day, is that it’s not always about another person in your life, but it should be a chance for you to celebrate the love that you have for yourself.

spending time doing the things that you enjoy, for no reason, other than the fact that you enjoy it is the ultimate form of self-care. I encourage each of you to take a moment to yourselves on this Valentine’s Day, regardless of your plans with other people. Being able to fill up your cup allows you to be there for the people that are most important in your life.
