Michael, PT, DPT

Hi, I’m Michael and I received my Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences and a Minor in Psychology from Saint Louis University. I received my Doctorate of Physical Therapy from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Throughout my life, I have always enjoyed helping out others and connecting with people of all different walks of life. I was introduced to the world of physical therapy through many close family member experiences. Through their journeys, I became fascinated by the field of physical therapy and how impactful this field can be on improving an individual’s quality of life and physical health. For me, my passion for healthcare and physical therapy allows me to make a difference in patients’ lives through the use of movement and education as medicine. Areas of expertise I would like to work towards in the future include balance/vestibular rehabilitation and Parkinson’s disease. I would like to gain certifications pertaining to these areas to improve my knowledge such as LSVT BIG certified and FYZICAL balance certified.
