Bass is an Greensboro native and two-time Tar Heel, he holds a bachelor’s degree in Exercise and Sport Science and a master’s in Exercise Physiology, where he developed a special interest in exercise oncology. Mike earned his Doctor of Physical Therapy from Winston-Salem State University and is passionate about oncology rehabilitation—helping individuals regain strength, confidence, and the ability to return to the activities they love.

“No matter the stage, the treatment involved, nor the demographic, tailored physical activity and supervised rehabilitation with a rehab specialist in cancer has been shown to have positive impacts on physical and mental performance and overall quality of life,” says Bass.
