Michaela is our newest physical therapist here at LVL Up Physical Therapy. She grew up playing soccer, where she first discovered physical therapy, after some of her teammates acquired sports related injuries. Her passion for physical therapy grew as she started weight lifting and became a certified personal trainer. She received her Bachelor’s Degree in Community Health Sciences and Kinesiology with a minor in Nutrition from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2019. She earned her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Touro University Nevada and became a licensed physical therapist in 2022.

Michaela has special interests in nutrition, sports injury, and functional training and is committed to continuing her education. She provides individualized care to each patient and ensures a patient goal centered approach to therapy.

Outside of physical therapy, Michaela enjoys attending concerts and traveling with her husband. She is dedicated to living an active lifestyle, whether it is lifting weights, hiking, kayaking, or dabbling in various sports such as soccer, soft ball, CrossFit, MMA, or Jiu Jitsu.
