Meet Mychal Manning, PT, DPT
Mychal received her Doctorate of Physical Therapy in 2011 from Utica College in upstate New York. She practiced in the Bay Area for 3.5 years before moving to beautiful Bend, Oregon 10 years ago.
Mychal specializes in functional movements and identifying compensatory patterns to get to the root of the issue. She is certified in FMS, DNS, KT, Gait Happens, and MFR and has just completed her 300 hour yoga teacher training. These and many other courses allow her to look at the body as a whole.
She enjoys working with a wide range of clients from children to seniors, and treats all orthopedic, neurological, and musculoskeletal injuries. Mychal employs active treatment approaches and provides her patients with tools and knowledge to help them manage their own health.
Mychal believes no two individuals are the same; treatment should be tailored to each individual and their specific needs and goals.
When not working, Mychal enjoys being active, whether itโs snowboarding, yoga, golf, or curling. She also likes to spend quality time with her two pups Kona and Ace.

Testimonials
There are no words to describe the positive impact that Mychal has had in my life. After seeing tons of PTs, she is by far the best I’ve worked with. She really takes a holistic approach to treating her patients. I can tell she’s invested in getting to the root cause of my issues. She has taught me how to gain strength in areas where other PTs have failed. I highly recommend her.

I’ve been in and out of physical therapy for several years and have worked with a lot of clinics in Bend. I can say without a doubt that Mychal is the best PT I’ve ever worked with. She is knowledgeable and selects exercises and therapy techniques that actually make sense rather than printing off a list of generic movements. She’s got quite the sense of humor and a wonderful personality!
