Micah Smith is originally from Michigan, but calls Missouri home. Prior to moving to Arizona, he completed his undergraduate work at Missouri State University, going on to graduate from Southwest Baptist University in 2017 with his Doctorate in Physical Therapy. Micah has been involved in athletics since a young age and found his calling in PT following several personal experiences. Micah has had the opportunity to work with professional and elite­-level athletes during his training and time as a physical therapist. What he finds the most rewarding is the opportunity to help patients achieve their individual goals and get back to the fully functional lifestyle that they deserve. Away from the clinic, Micah enjoys spending time with his wife and son, hiking, running, fishing, hunting and just about anything that can be done outdoors.
