Michael R. Murray, PT, DPT

I am a doctor of physical therapy, and I specialize in aquatic therapy and sports medicine. I have a passion for the water where I have competed on community swim teams, taught swimming lessons for over 20 years, served as a lifeguard, supervised community center pools, and participated in recreational water sports. The aquatic environment is ideal for multiple populations and can be used to help improve functional performance, from the elite athlete to the person trying to reduce pain, improve range of motion, build strength, or improve his or her level of function in daily activities. I am currently a Master's Swim coach and use this in my PT practice to return swimmers of all levels to the pool after surgery, injury, or trying to improve their strokes in general. I am the current President of the APTA Academy of Aquatic Physical Therapy as well as an active member of the state and national physical therapy associations where I advocate for patients’ rights and help develop physical therapy-specific programming. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and 2 kids, riding my motorcycle, playing basketball, kayaking, watching professional wrestling, and playing/listening to live music with my friends.
