Michael’s path to becoming a Physical Therapist was paved through his experience in the US Military. Michael is a Veteran that served during the Desert Storm Era.

It was while going through extensive rehabilitation for his injuries that he developed a passion for this profession.

After being discharged, Michael embarked on his path to becoming a Physical Therapist. Michael attended Florida International University where he received his degree in Physical Therapy. His commitment to education led him to graduate from FIU with honors in 1998, where he received a degree in Physical Therapy.

He became proficient in treating Orthopedics, Sports injuries, Geriatrics, Spinal Chord Injuries, Neurological Disorders (such as CVA/Strokes and Parkinson), Outpatient Orthopedics, Brain injuries, Amputees and many other debilitating illnesses.

In 2000, Michael opened his first outpatient clinic (Professional Therapeutic Care Inc). As he built up his practice, he became a highly sought after therapist.
