      Specialties:

      • Vestibular & Neuromuscular Rehabilitation
      • Sports & Ortho Rehab
      • Balance, Gait & Posture

      Michelle Kim, a Southern California native, received her doctorate of physical therapy from Chapman University and a Bachelor of Science Degree from U.C.L.A. Hailing from a family of healthcare providers, Michelle always knew she would follow in that tradition.

      During her undergraduate years, she utilized her volunteering duties at the hospital to explore the various fields and approaches to patient care to help guide her career path. What struck her the most was the ability of a physical therapist and the rehabilitation process to tangibly help patients improve their quality of life. This realization led her to pursue a career in physical therapy where she could have a direct and meaningful relationship with her patients.

      One of the aspects of her physical therapy training that most intrigued Michelle was neurological and vestibular rehabilitation. She says she likes the problem-solving aspect and how seemingly simple interventions can make a world of a difference in a patient’s daily life.

      Key to her success is using those problem-solving skills that include listening to patients to help understand and identify the cause of the issue, in order to develop a rehabilitation program that will help each individual achieve their desired goals whether it be from a sports-related injury, an orthopedic issue or surgery, or a more complex neurological condition.

      When Michelle is not at work, she is very involved in her church and enjoys hiking, going to the beach, watching baseball, eating good food, and watching movies.

She completed her doctorate of physical therapy at the nationally ranked University of Northern Arizona.

      Anna attended Aliso Niguel High School and danced at the Maple Conservatory in Irvine. She continued her training and performing in the dance department at UC Irvine. For her senior thesis at she choreographed an original dance concert inspired by a class she took in neurobiology of learning and memory.

      In her freshman year of high school she developed an interest in biology and wanted to find a career to combine that with her love of dance. UCI, which has a highly regarded dance program, offered her that opportunity with a double major. She has always been fascinated by the movement of the human body and began learning more about physical therapy as an aide during college. After graduation, she knew for sure I wanted to be a PT to help people decrease their pain, learn more about their bodies, and return to doing the things they love.

      She says her favorite discipline is ballet, but has also been trained in modern, contemporary, jazz, tap, and musical theatre. A highlight of her training was attending the Radio City Rockettes summer intensive program in New York city. She continues to take dance classes when able.

      In addition to dance, Anna will provide treatments for orthopedic and sports injury rehab, chronic pain, SI joint dysfunction along with neurological rehab for movement disorders. With a teamwork approach to her patients, she feels it’s important to understand their goals in the rehab process and designing personalized treatment plans.

      “I believe in listening to a patient’s story and treating them as a whole person, not just thier impairment,” she said. “I see the patient and therapist as a team, working together to identify the problems and then finding creative solutions. It’s important for the patients to feel better, but also to understand their pain and how they can take an active role in their recovery.”
