Facility Director

Mike joined the PHOENIX Rehabilitation and Health Services team in September 2002 and most recently serves as Facility Director and clinician in the Mt. Lebanon outpatient center. Originally from Clarion, PA, Mike has lived and worked in the South Hills area for the last 17 years. Specializing in Outpatient Orthopaedics, he has treated a variety of conditions including work related injuries, auto accidents, joint replacements and sports injuries. Outside of the office, Mike enjoys "trying to keep up with the munchkins", residing with his wife, Becky, and children Jay, Sam and Becca in the South Hills area.

"My approach to the practice of Physical Therapy is multi-faceted. It begins with the patient's involvement in the rehabilitation process. At the time of the initial evaluation, each and every person I work with receives activities to be performed at home, education about their injury and instruction on how to best manage their condition away from the clinic. Modalities, which can be overdone, play the important role of helping us better manage our patient's symptoms and/or enhance the body's natural physiology of healing when utilized appropriately. Next is the application of manual therapy and techniques which is what I believe makes our profession unique and more effective than it would be otherwise. These techniques are variable in their nature and basis, but when employed properly, give us many more tools to hasten the recovery of function and diminish pain. Lastly, when someone returns for follow-up care, the focus is always on those treatments and techniques that they cannot perform on their own or don't have access to outside of the clinic."

"People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care."

      A lesson I have learned and come to appreciate over my career. Pragmatically, I've come to understand that if someone isn't improving or the changes I'm looking for aren't happening, it's time for a change in treatment, further investigation or both. There is more than one answer to just about every problem when dealing with the human body. I will leave you with this quote from Wilma Rudolph:

"Things turn out best for those who make the best out of the way things turn out."

And that's what I am here to help my patients do.
