Michael Dagro earned his Doctorate of Physical Therapy with distinction from The New York Institute of Technology. His clinical experience includes outpatient orthopedics, joint replacements, sports-related injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation with an emphasis on manual therapy. Michael has been practicing in an outpatient setting since he graduated in 2014 and prides himself on the positive results driven by the quality of his one-on-one care.
Prior to starting True Potential Physical Therapy, Michael spent time as a personal trainer and an amateur bodybuilder – activities which required a rather intense focus on strength training and attention to nutrition. Challenging his own body made him a kind of patient himself as he learned how his body responded to the diet, training and lifestyle required for bodybuilding. As a trainer, he applied that same knowledge to a diverse mix of clients with an even wider range of goals.
These experiences have been invaluable to his ability to relate to the needs of his patients – and providing everyone of them with the right approach for their particular body and goals. That methodology has allowed him to see patients not only restore their previous quality of life, but often come back even stronger than they were prior to injury.
Michael is excited to have True Potential Physical Therapy in the Bayport Blue- Point community! It has been a dream of his to open an outpatient clinic since he began in the physical therapy field – one that embodies his comprehensive, balanced and personalized approach to patient care.
