Dr. Michael Kang acquired his doctorate in Physical Therapy at Loma Linda University in 2016 as a recipient of the Warren Trust Fund Scholarship. Being heavily involved in athletics from a young age, Michael developed a precocious understanding of the value of human movement and how its preservation improves our quality of life. Driven by his passion to inspire those to maximize their capabilities, Michael gained years of experience with personal training and exercise physiology leading up to the beginning of his doctorate program. Following ACL ruptures to both knees, Michael extensively researched and explored the boundaries of his own rehabilitation following surgery. Through this process, he found his inspiration to promote to others the benefits of physical therapy and self-actualization.
While orthopaedic surgeons may do an optional subspecialty fellowship, Dr. Han completed three prestigious international fellowships from world-renowned shoulder surgeons: (1) Advanced Shoulder Arthroscopy with Dr. Seung-Ho Kim in Seoul, Korea; (2) Shoulder Surgery with Dr. Pascal Boileau in Nice, France; and (3) Shoulder and Elbow Reconstruction at Kerlan Jobe Orthopaedic Clinic in Los Angeles, CA. This unique and highly specialized training allows Dr. Han to bring in a unique skill set and philosophy in dealing with shoulder pathology to better help patients.
