Mike Barnett

Michael Barnett, MPT, OCS, ATC, joined the Chehalis Physical Therapy team in 2023, bringing 15 years of experience as a physical therapist to the clinic. A graduate of Appalachian State University and Western Carolina University, Michael is both a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist and a Certified Athletic Trainer, a combination that allows him to bridge the gap between traditional rehabilitation and high-level sports medicine. He is known for a motivating clinical style, consistently pushing his patients to reach their full potential and focusing every treatment plan on getting them back to the activities and hobbies they love. Michael’s approach combines over a decade of evidence-based orthopedic practice with a genuine passion for restoring movement and performance and a dedication to service that will continue as he pursues his second passion as a firefighter. When he isn’t in the clinic or preparing for his next chapter in public safety, he is often found outdoors fly fishing or spending quality time with his dog, Reba.
