"I am dedicated to the ongoing pursuit of educating myself in the most effective and efficient manner of helping others learn to help themselves through proper movement and exercise."

Michael Sullivan, MPT

Focus on education
I believe the key to quality care in physical therapy is an integration of many things within the therapist: academics, personal growth, experience, personality, and a personal commitment to the ongoing understanding of the strengths and limitations of physical therapy.

What led me down this particular path
Having personally experienced the benefits of proper exercise to restore and rehabilitate the body, I have developed the desire within myself to teach and help others achieve the same goals. My initial introduction to the benefits of physical exercise was with martial arts training that I started in my late twenties. Work had begun to take its toll, and I was suffering from chronic pain in the knees and low back. The pain was alleviated through proper movement and strengthening. Having experienced this, I became dedicated to the ongoing pursuit of educating myself in the most effective and efficient manner of helping others learn to help themselves through proper movement and exercise.

Where I am today
Today, I continue my same initial desire to teach others and to develop myself by participating in the "Pat Guytan's style" of Pilate's teacher certification program. I also participate in an ongoing Martial Art's practice and am currently enrolled in a 2 ½ year manual therapy residency program to learn the most advanced hands-on and cutting edge techniques available in my field.
