Dr. Sydney Vanlandingham

PT, DPT
Clinical Director, Outpatient Home Health Division

Sydney - Columbia

Doctor of Physical Therapy
Head Coach - Dreher High School Girls Varsity Soccer

I was born and raised in Dayton, Ohio and went on to pursue my undergraduate degree at Indiana State University, where I played soccer for four years. In 2016, I graduated with a B.S. in Athletic Training Applied Medicine. Afterward, I moved south to attend UofSC for physical therapy school and graduated in 2019 with a DPT degree.

Throughout my career, I have developed a passion for treating the geriatric population. Additionally, because of my athletic background, I enjoy working with and pushing athletes to reach their full potential.

Outside of work, I am the head varsity girls soccer coach at Dreher High School, and I also provide individual soccer training for youth players around the greater Columbia area. My husband Eric and I love spending time with our three dogs, and we enjoy outdoor activities and cheering on the Ohio State Buckeyes.

Outside of the clinic, she’s a proud mom to a one-year-old who’s already running, climbing, and dancing. She loves baking cakes, cheering on Carolina football, and making magical memories at Disney World with her family.
