Dr. Michael Teague, PT, DPT
PT
I enjoy working with Orthopedic and Sports Medicine conditions of all ages, and I have a special interest in working with patients with concussions. Nothing inspires me more than supporting motivated individuals who are committed to achieving their peak performance and fullest potential with physical therapy.
Why I Became a Physical Therapist:
I have always been drawn towards helping people realize a better version of themselves. Originally I thought this would take the form of me becoming either a medical doctor or a soccer coach. Until I had the opportunity to be my mother’s driver for her PT appointments following a rotator cuff repair surgery. This was the moment where I realized I could combine the best of both worlds in this one profession. I love watching people’s hard work and dedication turn into real, meaningful results. I’m also passionate about meeting the needs of the person in front of me, serving them to the best of my knowledge and abilities.

Personal Information:
I was born and raised in Houston, TX but moved up to DFW shortly after PT school where my wife (Catherine) and I eventually settled down in Arlington, TX. We first met in college and got married in 2017 once I finished PT school. We now have 3 beautiful daughters, Emma, Millie, and Zoe, who have brought so much joy and adventure to our lives. Exploring, gardening, and watching soccer are a few of our family favorites. My other interests include golf, working out, and hiking/backpacking.
