Mike's Journey

I've treated and coached everyone from 6-year-olds to 103-year-olds. My work has taken me from New York City to Philadelphia, Chicago, and now the greater Portland area. I've worked in large corporations and small practices, which means I've seen the full spectrum of what physical therapy and chiropractic care looks like across the country: the good, the bad, and everything in between.

After over 6 years working with athletes and complex cases, I've seen the same problem repeatedly: the healthcare system isn't built for you. It's built for average cases. Whether you're dealing with a sports injury, a connective tissue disorder, or something that's stumped other providers, I'm here to make the system work for you-not against you.
