2018 PHILADELPHIA FAMILY COMMUNITY BUILDER AWARD

Micah Straight: Soccer Shots, The Aspen Grove School, and Micah Straight Physical Therapy

A standing appointment with Micah is hard to come by, and it’s not just because he’s also busy running a new preschool (The Aspen Grove School) and being executive director of Soccer Shots. It’s because he has a much-deserved reputation as the best of the best. Micah worked with my daughter for years, encouraging both her and me to overcome her challenges and grow into who she is today. He suggested solutions like at-home exercises, custom orthotics, and ways to make therapy fun (like climbing on an art installation, meeting at the playground, and lots of singing). He approached therapy with expertise and understanding, through the hard times and her first steps. He’s also the devoted father to three girls of his own.
