Dr. Cassie Dawson, 
PT, SCS, ATC, CSCS

Cassie Dawson is a Benton, KY native and a graduate of Marshall County High School. She attended Murray State University before transferring to the University of South Alabama to complete both her Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Physical Therapy. After graduating and receiving her PT license, she completed a thirteen-month sports residency, during which, she completed hundreds of hours of training with athletes in the clinic, on the field, and in the operating room. Upon completion of her residency, she tested and acquired her clinical specialty in sports physical therapy and began working in the Sports Medicine department at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.  Once she moved back to Kentucky, she returned to Murray State University to complete a second Bachelor of Science degree, graduated Magna Cum Laude, and completed certifications in both Athletic Training and Strength and Conditioning.

 

During her years of experience as a therapist, she has both attended and lectured at conferences and educational seminars. She holds many different functional movement certifications, has received extra training in concussion rehab, Kinesio taping, and dry needling, and for nearly a decade, she taught Emergency Medical Response courses to prepare other sports physical therapists for providing sideline coverage. She is also a Registered International Sports Physical Therapist, and holds memberships in the American Physical Therapy Association, National Athletic Trainers’ Association, and National Strength and Conditioning Association.

 

Although she loves traveling and values the education she received from other areas, she is very happy to be back in Western Kentucky, near her family and providing care for the people of her hometown.
