Michael Dow's Amity Physical Therapy Celebrates 20th Year in Advanced Pain Relief Therapy
Michael Dow MSPT and CEO/Clinical Director has just crossed the threshold of two decades of practice. A graduate of Sacred Heart University's physical therapy program, Dow has grown his practice to five facilities in the Greater New Haven area: Woodbridge, Hamden, Branford, Milford, and Wallingford.
While providing state-of-the-art pain relief to thousands of patients, Dow is also no stranger to giving back to the communities in which he practices. Recently, while awarded the “2024 Outstanding Alumni” designation from Sacret Heart University, he established a $10,000 annual tuition donation to physical therapy students achieving degrees in that discipline. In 2023 he partnered with the Pop Warner youth football program in educational clinics to instruct on concussion prevention. In addiution, Dow's personal participation in area road races extended to pre-and-post complimentary therapy to runners.
Nationally, he is recognized by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Sciences for his work with the national Multiple Sclerosis Society. In 2019 he was invited as guest speaker at the California-based Life Fitness Annual Forum to present his unique, breakthrough concept of medically-based diagnostic screening which “bridges the gap” between patient rehab and eventual fitness programs.
At the same time his devotion to patients' pain relief, rehab methods, and general body health has led him to employ comprehensive programs with licensed fitness trainers that extend to injury prevention to nutrition and overall wellness.
This devotion and compassion he has for his profession, and his success over the past 20 years is apparent in Sacred Heart's award statement: “This award recognizes an alumnus who has reached a 25th milestone reunion year, and whose life has been exemplary.”
Michael Dow can't wait for the next 20 years and the opportunity to further his innovations and refinements in the practice of physical therapy.
