Dr “Max” Chun Huan Shih
PT, DPT
Doctor of Physical Therapy
Meet Max, a dedicated physical therapist with a rich background and a zest for life! Born and raised in Taiwan, Max earned his Bachelor’s Degree in Physical Therapy in 2015. With extensive experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings across Taiwan and Singapore, he moved to the U.S. to pursue his Doctorate in Physical Therapy at Loma Linda University, California, graduating in 2020. He now calls the Dallas-Fort Worth area home. He is fluent in Mandarin and Taiwanese, making him an excellent choice for Mandarin-speaking and Taiwanese-speaking patients seeking physical therapy.
Max specializes in treating orthopedic and neurological disorders with evidence-based approaches and is currently working towards certifications in vestibular rehabilitation, sports physical therapy, and hopes to become a certified MSK sonographer in the future. His athletic background- playing handball, baseball, tennis, table tennis, and basketball- has fueled his passion for working with athletes. In PT school, he also led the sports physical therapy team.
He chose Physical Therapy of Melissa for its patient-centered approach and is committed to sharing his knowledge to provide the best care possible. Outside of work, Max is a globe-trotter, having visited over 15 countries across Asia, Europe, and North America. He loves exploring new cultures, trying different foods, and enjoys water activities, including freediving and stand-up paddleboarding. Weekends are spent with his lovely wife and son, making the most of family time.
