Mike Loebelenz

DOCTOR OF PHYSICAL THERAPY

Sports and working out have always been deeply intertwined in my life and a centerpiece of my family. I grew up like most kids who played sports, promising to buy my parents a yacht after I signed my first Big League contract. After deciding to retire early following my final senior year game, I realized that I needed a new passion. I knew I wanted to incorporate athletics into my job and lifestyle as well as giving back to my community in a meaningful way. This led me down the pathway of Physical Therapy. After completing my schooling and gaining experience in the typical Physical Therapy world I quickly realized that it was not what I envisioned. My hands were constantly tied in terms of the time and type of treatment I could provide my patients. I knew that I could do more for both myself and the patients who wanted their lives back. This sparked my interest in starting a clinic of my own.

Rise Above Physical Therapy was built on the dream of providing every patient with the same level of care and outcomes that I would expect as a patient myself. A place where your success is our success. We realize that you are not only spending your hard earned money, you’re also spending your TIME. The one thing you truly can’t get back. That’s why we are committed to giving you the 1 on 1 attention you deserve so that you can spend your life DOING the things you enjoy rather than WISHING you could.

Our vision going forward is a new wave of healthcare where the treatment truly represents the patient’s goals rather than simply being pushed through the system. A place where patients get the time to build trust, connection, and a working relationship with their healthcare provider. If this sounds like the type of treatment you are looking for, reach out and schedule a FREE 20 MINUTE CONSULTATION to see how we can help!
