ADJUVANT PHYSICAL THERAPY - Key Persons

Over the past 11 years Michael has had the privilege to serve in the presence of many great and experienced Physical Therapists. He has spent 6 years as a Rehab Technician through undergrad studies and Physical Therapist Assistant training at Penn Valley. In addition, he has had the opportunity to work with many PTs and learn from their successes and, occasionally, their failures. He then spent 5 years working for a local area Inpatient Rehab/Acute PT facility as a Physical Therapist Assistant and then expanded his education achieving a Doctorate degree in Physical Therapy from Rockhurst University. Over time, the challenges of the large corporate world and his love for athletic endeavors drove him to seek a different avenue. This lead him to Adjuvant PT where he gets to put the patient first each day and continue to pursue the love for helping people pursue their physical and athletic goals.

Through my 13 years of distance running I have seen 95 year-olds compete in 100 meter sprint competitions. Been humbled by 50 year olds in trail marathons and witnessed 75 year olds complete the Leadville Marathon in a little over 5 hours. That's 10,000ft above sea level with 6 thousand feet of elevation gain! I believe a positive, goal driven mindset with an innate stubbornness to disregard
