Mikey De Pala, DPT
Mikey earned his Doctorate in Physical Therapy from South College (TN) in December of 2022. He was introduced to the profession of physical therapy through his involvement with barbell sports, as a powerlifter-turned-Olympic weightlifter, and saw a need for clinicians who understood the value of strength-training beyond athletics. Mikey is driven to empower others and loves to connect with people in order to help them feel stronger and become more resilient than than they were prior to injury. Originally from the North Bay in California, Mikey moved to Seattle in 2017 with his now-fiancée, Mary. Outside of the clinic, Mikey enjoys hiking, skiing, photography, reading, spending time with friends, and relaxing at home with Mary and their cat, Melon.
Testimonials
I started going to Salmon Bay Physical Therapy due to a shoulder/trap injury that was being exacerbated by sitting at a desk and stress. Mikey is an awesome physical therapist who was quickly able to assess my pain/issue and begin sharing exercises and movements to help. He is attentive and listened to my needs and was able to pivot with creative solutions when I needed them. Ultimately, when the bulk of the pain management phase was over, he brought fun and exciting treatment/exercises to my plan to help strengthen my muscles. I highly recommend Mikey!!

I tore my achilles tendon and went here for post-op recovery. I worked with Mikey De Pala and he absolutely exceeded my expectations. In a very short time, he got me back into running shape with an arsenal of creative and dynamic exercises. I am almost back to full strength and I know I wouldn't be close to this level of progress without Mikey and Salmon Bay. Highly recommend!

I can’t recommend Salmon Bay PT enough! Mikey De Pala has been a great therapist. He helped me with my lower back pain and provided me with exercises that I could easily do at home or at the gym. I would recommend Mikey and Salmon Bay to anyone needing physical therapy.
