Micah Wong

Micah Wong is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and credentialed musculoskeletal sonographer (RMSK, APCA) currently pursuing a PhD in Rehabilitation Science at the University of Iowa under the mentorship of Dr. Ruth Chimenti. Before returning to academia, he spent four and a half years in clinical practice as an embedded primary care physical therapist, where diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound was a central tool in his patient care. His clinical work has informed published research in primary care physical therapy practice and Achilles tendon exercise interventions. This foundation shaped a focused research interest in the mechanical properties of tendon/fascia and pain management in the foot and ankle. His current work leverages quantitative imaging techniques, including shear wave elastography, to better understand tissue behavior and inform clinical decision-making in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. He previously served on the Oregon Physical Therapy Association legislative commit
