About Sarah Sheridan
Sarah grew up in Northern Virginia before moving to the UK, where she earned her Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Sports Therapy from the University of Chichester, completing her dissertation in Nutrition. She later returned to the United States to complete her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston.
During her undergraduate career, Sarah served as the team Sports Therapist for the University of Chichester’s swim and athletics teams, where she also competed as a scholar-athlete. She also volunteered with Parkinson’s UK, providing sports therapy to marathon runners fundraising for the charity. At MUSC, Sarah contributed to stroke rehabilitation research, volunteered as a Student Clinician at the pro bono CARES Clinic, represented students through the American Physical Therapy Association’s PT Moves Me Ambassador Program, and served as a student ambassador for MUSC’s College of Health Professions.
Sarah has clinical experience working with patients across all age groups. Her professional interests include POTS, Dysautonomia, EDS/HSD, sports medicine, pediatrics, and oncological rehabilitation. She incorporates a range of interventions—including patient-specific progressive exercise, trigger point dry-needling, cupping, blood flow restriction training, Maitland techniques, and Mulligan techniques—into her practice to support recovery and help patients achieve their long-term goals. She has also pursued continuing education in specialty areas such as Dysautonomia and remains committed to integrating emerging research into patient care.
Fun facts about Sarah: she is a dual US/UK citizen, her love of working with children began when she launched her own swim lesson business, and her interest in physical therapy was sparked by a high school shadowing project at Advantage Physical Therapy. Outside of work, she enjoys running, swimming, hiking, experimenting with new recipes, and traveling with her husband, Jake.
