Meet Sarah Libby, PT, DPT

Libby was raised in Eugene, OR. She grew up as a competitive gymnast and loved reading and writing for school and pleasure. She started her undergraduate career at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and graduated from the University of Oregon in 2015 with a degree in Medical Cultural Anthropology and Women’s Studies. She has work experience serving as a baker, domestic violence advocate, and gymnastics coach, before turning her attention to PT. She earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Oregon State University – Cascades, in Bend, OR.

Libby became interested in PT because she experienced the power that physical therapy can have to change one’s relationship to their body through many injuries and rehab sessions of her own. She also observed the pain that the body can sustain through emotionally and physically traumatic instances through her domestic violence work. Libby approaches physical therapy through an empowerment-based lens, holding respect and dignity paramount to every patient interaction.  In her free time, Libby enjoys reading, lifting, yoga, long walks, and cooking.
