She provides pediatric outpatient therapy for children from birth through their teenage years.   Michaela cares for children with mobility (movement) concerns. She offers physical therapy for patients with conditions like Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, and walking problems due to weak muscles or bone and joint injuries. She also works with doctors to help patients with developmental delays improve their movement, strength and coordination.   She has a special interest in torticollis. Michaela provides targeted therapy for babies and toddlers with tight or twisted neck muscles.   Michaela became a physical therapist to positively impact people’s lives. She believes in learning through play. Michaela uses fun activities to help children improve their gross motor skills, strength and mobility. She loves to watch her patients develop new skills and become more independent.   Outside of work, Michaela enjoys fishing, boating, playing volleyball and spending time with her family.  There’s nothing more rewarding than the excitement that fills the room when a child masters a new skill.
