Michael Panopio
PT, DPT
Michael Panopio, PT, DPT, is a highly dedicated physical therapist and a native of Phoenix, Arizona. Michael’s lifelong passion for fitness and exercise, stemming from years of playing sports like wrestling and basketball, deepened when his own successful shoulder rehabilitation inspired him to pursue the field. He earned his bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Arizona State University in 2020 and recently completed his Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) at Midwestern University in 2025. Michael brings valuable experience from clinical rotations with niche populations, including patients with TMJ, amputees, and various neurological conditions. He is eager to continue his professional development by pursuing specializations in orthopedics, manual therapy, sports, and dry needling.
Michael is committed to providing excellent patient care and supporting his family, which currently includes his girlfriend and their mini dachshund puppy. Outside of the clinic, he embraces an active life enjoying pickleball, fishing, working out, and overland camping with his truck. When he slows down, he enjoys catching up on movies and occasionally grabbing his favorite meal from In-N-Out. Michael’s blend of clinical training and genuine enthusiasm for movement allows him to motivate and guide patients effectively throughout their rehabilitation and wellness journey.
