Michelle Kim, DPT, a Southern California native who earned her Doctorate of Physical Therapy at Chapman University in Orange County joins the staff at Progressive Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation in the Irvine office.

“We are excited to have Michelle join our team,” said Michael McKindley, DPT, owner of the clinic. “She is bright and very personable with an interest in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation that fits in perfectly with the personalized services that we offer our patients.”

Hailing from a family of healthcare providers, Michelle always knew she would follow in that tradition and began her educational journey by obtaining a Bachelor of Science Degree from U.C.L.A.

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 for a patient’s daily life
