“After injuring my back on the IBJJF Pan No Gi, I thought I would be out for several weeks.

However after seeking Dr. Mike’s professional help, I felt better on day one. I was able to not only heal, but he kept me Jiu Jitsu active the entire time. To my surprise, I felt well enough to compete successfully in two tournaments back to back.

I won a local tournament in Seattle(Rev 50) and I was able to win the IBJJF Houston Fall Open No Gi Absolute, No Gi Medium-Heavy and get a silver medal on GI Medium-Heavy.

Dr. Mike, thank you very much for your expertise and professionalism.”

"For months ago sitting in this position was miserable. I couldn't sit on m knees for more than 30 seconds without them screaming at me and now its a comfortable stretch.

I went through 3 knee surgeries in 5 years (2 ACL reconstructions and 1 meniscus repair), after the third I quite jiu jitsu for almost 6 years.

I decided to come back in May of this last year and two months later ended up with another knee injury.

Michael is the 6th physical therapist I have worked with for injuries with my knees and neck. The things he had me doing helped me improve faster than any other approach I have been given.

I am now able to do jiu jitsu multiple times a week with out pain. The flexibility and strength I feel in my knees is the best I've felt in years. Thank you"

I had Complete ACL Reconstruction as well as a bucket handle torn meniscus a few years back, the surgeon told me it chwould be difficult to return back to competing in Jiu Jitsu.
 
 My healing took about 10-12 months but after that I had extremely poor range of motion specifically straightening and bending all the way. 
 
 I kept on my PT vigorously but I just couldn't gain the confidence to wrestle or engage in leg locks ... this really put a damper on my goals of competing again.
 
 Then I met Mike, and he worked with me and gave me a few exercises to really apply myself to and he said it would help.
 
 Flash forward to now! His words were an understatement to say the least! I now can engage in leg attacks, shoot for takedown and roll with confidence! I sincerely credit his knowledge and the exercises he put me on.
 
 Thank you Mike, you are the man sir!
