Michael has a been a pleasure to work with. The difference I feel with my knee compared to when I began, is huge. Most importantly, I can run again and look forward to most sports. The adaptive training and excellent communication produced great results. Fantastic to work with and great at getting continuous results.

I have been practicing Physical Therapy since 1992 and received my Master’s degree in Physical Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in Florida.

I have worked with a variety of different patient populations from professional athletes to patients with chronic pain conditions. I am well-versed in a broad range of physical therapy programs, treatments, and modalities used to restore function to clients. I use a highly integrative approach and work closely with Physicians, Dentists, Chiropractors, Podiatrists, Optometrists, Massage Therapists, and Fitness Professionals to fully meet client needs and achieve their goals.

I am a Postural Restoration Certified Clinician and utilize this method taught by The Postural Restoration Institute (PRI). PRI is particularly beneficial for treating symptoms that are chronic, symptoms that have not responded well to other forms of treatment, and symptoms that gradually occurred over time, or spontaneously without any known reason. It is also very useful when recovering from accidents or overuse injuries.

In addition to providing integrative postural re-education and training, I have extensive education and instruction in manual therapy techniques, movement analysis, functional-based exercise, and biomechanical analysis for running, and golf.

I grew up in Federal Way, Washington participating in scouting and school athletics. I excelled in track and field as a sprinter and long jumper. While living in Florida I began golfing and now blend my love for golf with my passion for biomechanics and postural athletic performance. I have earned the highest-level of medical provider and golf power coach certifications from the Titleist Performance Institute. I am new to Vashon Island and on weekends you will find me working in the garden, tinkering with home improvement projects, on the links, or hiking and exploring my new surroundings.
