Sarah Kwapiszeski
PT, DPT, CMTPT/DN & Physical Therapist
Sarah became interested in physical therapy after experiencing multiple knee and ankle injuries, beginning with her first ACL tear in seventh grade. After several surgeries and working with a variety of physical therapists, she saw firsthand the impact the right provider can have on recovery and confidence. These experiences led her to pursue a career helping others return to the activities they love.
Sarah grew up in the Overland Park area and graduated from St. Thomas Aquinas High School. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science (Pre-Physical Therapy) from the University of Kansas, where she also completed the University Honors Program, before receiving her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the University of Kansas Medical Center. During graduate school, she worked in a research laboratory studying the effects of beta-amyloid on cerebral blood flow and the role of exercise in brain health.
Her treatment philosophy centers on individualized care, with an emphasis on purposeful treatment, ongoing testing and retesting, and helping patients understand the “why” behind their care. She has completed continuing education in women’s health, pelvic floor rehabilitation, Pilates-based rehabilitation, and dry needling, allowing her to provide comprehensive, evidence-based care tailored to each patient’s goals.
Outside the clinic, Sarah enjoys cycling, sand volleyball, traveling, and challenging herself in new ways. She also has a love for fun, wacky outfits and costumes. She and her husband stay busy keeping up with their two young daughters.
