Meet SoFLo PT's Physical Therapist Dr. Alex Samuel!

Dr. Alex Samuel was born in Brooklyn, NY and graduated with his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology from Pennsylvania State University in 2015. During his time there he spent two years competing as a Track and Field Sprinter for the University. After his undergraduate graduation, Dr. Samuel obtained his CSCS (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist) certification, which gave him extensive knowledge in strength training athletes of various sport populations.
In 2020, Dr. Samuel graduated from New York Institute of Technology obtaining his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. He has conducted research in gait biomechanics of runners, both short and long distances, which makes his patients who suffer from running related injuries feel comfortable working with him.
Dr. Samuel’s passion for Physical Therapy began when he learned that he could specialize in treating people of all ages through his hands and his favorite hobby, exercise. While practicing in Long Island New York, Dr. Samuel obtained his BFR (Blood flow Restriction) certification and took courses in Graston technique training.
As a Physical therapist, Dr. Samuel believes “Exercise is medicine. As each of us age unfortunately our bodies begin to deteriorate. Exercise is the easiest way to counteract our body’s natural aging process so that we may continue to live our lives to its full potential.”
Outside of Physical therapy, Dr. Samuel enjoys the beautiful weather that South Florida has to offer including playing outdoor sports, jet skiing, and the delicious restaurants.
