Michael Viricel, MSPT, CSCS

Mike grew up in Maine and attended Husson College (now Husson University), where he received a Master of Science in physical therapy in 2001.  Upon getting licensed in Maine, he began working at a hospital in the midcoast area, where he worked on various disciplines, including inpatient rehab, outpatient orthopedic/neurological rehab, and home health therapy.  He moved on to work in a physician-owned outpatient orthopedic clinic specializing in post-surgical rehabilitation, shoulder/knee rehabilitation, and treatment of sports-specific injuries.  Mike eventually became co-director and successfully opened and managed a satellite clinic.  He has since moved to the Portland area and has been with Riverview Physical Therapy since 2011.

Mike utilizes several different treatment philosophies when evaluating and treating his patients. In 2012, Mike received certification in strength and conditioning from National Strength and Conditioning Association. He has attended continuing education courses focusing on manual therapy, orthopedic rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, and postural restoration.  Mike’s clinical interests include post-surgical rehabilitation, foot and ankle rehabilitation, and sports injury assessment/rehabilitation.

In his free time, Mike enjoys being outside, going for walks on the beach with his wife and dog, and sampling some of the local breweries Portland has to offer.
