About Samantha

Dr. Samantha Cooper Cauthon PT, DPT

Owner & Physical Therapist

The focus of Prairie Movement is to blend my 11 years of clinical expertise with a deep passion for full-body health. I have taught, mentored, trained, and treated other physical therapists over the last decade. I finally built my dream business in order to have the freedom to address your full wellbeing. I believe in treating the human, not just the injury. To help you reach your goals, I look at the complete picture: movement quality, strength progression, pain management, sleep, hydration, fueling, and mental resilience. I want to break the traditional healthcare model for physical therapy and treat clients MY way.

Located in Overland Park, I provide a 1-on-1 physical therapy experience individualized for everyone committed to an active life. Catering to those who consider themselves weekend warriors to the seasoned endurance athlete. My goal is to bridge the gap between rehab and performance, offering a seamless transition from injury recovery to personalized strength training. At Prairie Movement, you aren’t just a patient; you are an active partner in a plan designed for your longevity.
