Martin Baker, PT, DPT

With more than a decade of physical therapy experience, Martin brings a well-rounded and individualized approach to patient care. He was drawn to EW after hearing about the experiences of family members who received care at the Hoover clinic and learning more about EW’s commitment to clinical excellence, professional growth, and one-on-one care. Martin enjoys treating the whole person and meeting patients where they are to develop a plan that improves mobility, strength, and overall function. As a Hoover native, Martin especially values the opportunity to serve the community where he grew up and now lives with his family.

Scott Sall, Clinic Director of EW Motion Therapy Hoover, shared, “Martin brings a wealth of experience along with a genuine passion for helping people move and feel their best. His commitment to continued learning, clinical excellence, and personalized care makes him a great addition to the EW team.”

Martin grew up in Bluff Park and graduated from Hoover High School before moving to the Atlanta area in 2009 for college, physical therapy school, and the beginning of his career. In 2025, he returned to Hoover to be closer to family. Martin is married to his wife, Abby, an occupational therapist, and they have two children, Kiley and Nolan. He loves being involved in his kids’ activities and coaching their sports, and he enjoys soccer, baseball, pickleball, swimming, hiking, biking, and spending time outdoors.

A former Division I baseball player at Kennesaw State University, sports continue to be a big part of his life. Martin also enjoys cooking, family movie nights, and the occasional dad joke—although his family may still be more focused on the time he forgot the sugar in the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie.
