Michal played soccer competitively from a young age through college and is eager to funnel that same competitive energy into getting his patients better and faster with the one-to-one model that Free Body Physical Therapy provides.
For Michal, successful treatment is not just by improving pain or function but by showing patients how they keep themselves well, too.

When he is not thinking about physical therapy, Michal enjoys spending time with his partner and dog, playing board games like Settlers of Catan, some casual computer gaming, and cast iron cooking.
