He also has extensive clinical experience specializing in SI joint and lower back pain and has a high success rate rehabilitating these conditions.
Having played baseball for the University of Puget Sound, Alika is a lover of all sports and enjoys helping athletes of all ages prevent injuries, rehabilitate their bodies, and perform at their best. In 2021, Alika wrote a Children's book called 'Quiet Mind for Kids' intended to give our youth simple tools to improve their mindset and become the best version of themselves. After a day of treating patients you can either find Alika coaching little league baseball or on A2's gym side of the clinic leading a youth fitness class for what he calls our next generation of young athletes.
"I found A2 Physical therapy was able to give me the help I needed in the exercises and cupping they gave me to loosen up my stiff joints and muscles that I could hardly move due to surgery, stiffness, and soreness. I think A2 PT are running a top notch business. The therapists that worked with and on me were extremely courteous. Molly was so helpful in my therapy and an absolute delight to work with. She got me back to 100% in just 4 weeks and my visits were 1 day a week. This was my first experience working with PT’s and it was totally a wonderful experience. Thank you A2 Physical Therapy and thank you Ms. Molly Daugherty for working with me and making my recovery and stability improve so quickly. Should I need PT again I will call you. Again many thanks."

"It was very helpful to be taught exercises I could do at home to alleviate the pain in my back and to make my stomach/diaphragm stronger. It was a great experience and I took away a lot of knowledge to help myself."

"I began treatment with Alika after a back injury at work. I had already been out of work 3 weeks. Alika had an immediate impact on my back health and posture, providing more relief than I had felt with chiropractic/massage. Over the following month Alika used a unique spinal technique alongside other treatments and strengthening methods to improve my condition and get me back to work. I’ve been to several other clinics in my time as a competitive athlete and Alikas therapy coupled with his attentiveness to patients problems and injuries is second to none. Would highly recommend Alika and A2 PT to anyone with back issues or P.T. needs"
