Milan holds a Bachelor’s degree in Comparative Literature from UCLA and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from San Diego State University. Prior to becoming a PT, Milan gained experience managing clinical trials focused on pulmonary conditions, particularly emphysema. This experience deepened his understanding of the positive impact that movement can have on the human body, ultimately leading him to pursue a career in physical therapy.

During his time at SDSU, Milan completed clinical rotations in pediatrics, neurology, and orthopedics. He excelled in his studies and was elected president of his class. Milan also contributed to the Women’s Health research group, where he participated in a study examining the effects of exercise and taping on abdominal muscle separation (diastasis recti). This study is set to be published in the Journal of Women’s Health Physical Therapy in 2018.

After obtaining his Doctorate of Physical Therapy, Milan continued his education by pursuing additional courses in areas such as bowel and GI health, pelvic pain, Men’s Pelvic Health, vestibular dysfunction, McKenzie Method for spinal pain, and Kinesiotaping. He has developed a specialization in orthopedics as well as Male Pelvic Health, focusing on issues such as post-prostatectomy recovery, pelvic pain management, incontinence, and erectile dysfunction.

Milan’s approach to therapy involves empowering his patients and helping them regain mobility through a combination of traditional physical therapy, Applied Functional Science, and Pilates-based exercises. He also utilizes various manual techniques, including joint mobilizations, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and soft tissue mobilizations.

Outside of his professional life, Milan cherishes spending time with his family. He enjoys exploring new kettlebell exercises, playing hacky sack, hiking, reading, and tinkering with computers. Milan’s diverse interests and commitment to his patients make him a well-rounded and dedicated physical therapist.
