Baker specializes in Orthopedic Physical Therapy, specifically rehab for those who have undergone knee and shoulder rehab; Baker has his Functional Movement Techniques (FMT) certification and is currently Level 1 Titleist Performance Institute Certified. He has over 25 years of clinical experience with nearly 20 years working in outpatient Physical Therapy.

Baker received a B.S in Biology from Coastal Carolina University in 1993 and earned a B.S. in Physical Therapy from the Medical University of South Carolina in 1995.
Hobbies:
When not coaching/refereeing/watching my kids swim, basketball, and tennis activities, you will find Baker fishing, playing tennis, or snow skiing depending on the weather and time of the season. Baker also loves cooking, particularly on his grill/smoker, and says he is pretty sure he has perfected smoked chicken wings.
What do you like most about being a Physical Therapist?
I like puzzles. Much of being a PT is about solving puzzles and figuring out how to return someone to their sport, work or hobby as quickly as possible.
