Michael is the owner and founder of Pro-Motion Physical Therapy and Pro-Motion Functional Fitness. After having worked in many different environments ranging from troop medical clinics in the US Army to Pacific Sports Medicine, a cutting edge sports medicine practice he helped open in Tacoma, Washington he realized his goal of creating a rehabilitation and performance centered physical therapy practice. The basis for all treatment provided at Pro-Motion revolves around the central theme of function. Movement is our medicine. We believe that all movement emerges at the confluence of the Task being performed, the Individual’s structure and functional skills, and the performance Environment …the TIEs. An improvement in function necessitates creating tasks and environments that empower and encourage the full development of mind, body and spirit in every client with every interaction. Our approach includes the pivotal concept that it is about you…not us.
