Bio
Scott McAmis, PT, DPT, OCS, CMPT
Dr. Scott became fascinated with the field of physical therapy after a knee injury sidelined him from playing sports as a young athlete. After a surgery and the helpful care of a physical therapist, he was able to return to playing sports. He also continued on to other goals, eventually becoming a mountaineer and rock climber. Through his experience, Scott discovered the fundamental relationship between movement and health.
Scott’s journey sparked his interest in physical therapy. He graduated from Regis University in 2013 with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and he continued to refine his practice by eventually earning a manual therapy certification (CMPT) and a board certification in orthopedics (OCS). However, his journey in delivering physical therapy was met with obstacles. On two different occasions, the clinics he practiced in were acquired by larger companies that demanded their therapists treat multiple patients in shorter time periods making delivering quality care quite difficult. Scott believes in a higher standard of care, which led him to seek out work at smaller clinics that prioritized the needs of patients and clinicians. Eventually, Scott decided to start Expedition Physical Therapy, a practice that affords him the ability to see patients one-on-one for a full hour with as few barriers to care as possible.
Scott enjoys working with a wide variety of patients. From runners to hikers to casual gardeners, every patient has their own unique path to regaining their pain-free mobility. Scott specializes in treating outdoor athletes due to his background as a climber. He also has experience in treating office workers with ergonomic injuries. Scott’s clinical approach centers not only on corrective exercises but also emphasizes education. Scott wants you to understand what you need to do to get out of pain and begin your journey back to the activities you enjoy.
