LEADERSHIP
Leading the team is Australian-born businessman, Mick Bates – Founder and President of PRAXIS, as well as CEO of BODYWORKS. In 1991, after receiving his Bachelors of Applied Science (Physiotherapy) degree from Curtin University of Technology, in Perth, Australia, he came to the U.S. on an 18-month traveling physical therapy assignment. As the son of a two-generation mining family, he felt right at home when his extended commitment brought him to West Virginia in 1995 – so he never left.
