Name: Dr. Michael Tancini, DPT, PT, OCS, CSCS, CF-L1, Pn1

Personal Motto: Live with Intention, be deliberate and take action to be a little bit better,. Every. Single. Day.

What's his story?

Michael grew up in the world of athletics. He played everything from baseball, football, basketball, aggressive inline skating, skateboarding, golf, and much more. He had his share of injuries in which he worked through in order to play. As he went through college baseball and transitioned into competitive "functional-fitness" the one thing he hated most was to see other individuals fail to reach their goals, especially due to pain and physical dysfunction. From that moment he made it his mission to help all individuals achieve their goals through helping them move better and feel better. With teaching others how to move better, they were able to stay healthy, train harder, and achieve their goals. Michael pairs his manual hands on skills with his knowledge and experience in strength and conditioning to help his patients return to doing what they love to do and achieving their goals.
