A former professional dancer, tumbler, stuntman, and championship-level athlete, Michael brings a deep, firsthand understanding of movement, performance, and injury prevention to his clinical work.

Michael’s bodywork is a precise blend of Eastern-informed techniques and Western orthopedic principles. He specializes in Myoskeletal Alignment Technique, a clinically driven approach designed to restore optimal alignment, reduce pain, and retrain neuromuscular patterns for lasting postural change.

By integrating hands-on methods from Thai, Shiatsu, and Reiki, Michael enhances joint mobility, soft-tissue balance, and nervous system regulation—helping clients move with greater ease and efficiency.

In addition to corrective bodywork, Michael provides hands-on table-based stretching that blends Muscle Release Technique with Thai-assisted mobilization, allowing for deeper, more neurologically effective results than passive stretching alone. To support long-term progress, clients are given take-home strategies, including corrective Pilates exercises, Stick Mobility drills, and prescriptive Qigong and Breathwork techniques, reinforcing treatment goals and promoting durable, self-sustaining change between sessions & beyond.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork services

by Beth on Mar 25
Michael employed body work modality that I hadn't experienced before and boy! did it work!! The ongoing pain in my back has disappeared.
by Debra on Mar 05
Michael was delightful! He took time to listen to my concerns, analyze my body, then we discussed his thoughts before we got started. He explained things as he made adjustments and gave me homework to help after the session. I left feeling better and empowered to keep improving on my own. I will book with Michael again for sure.

Extremely knowledgeable and professional! Michael took the time to understand my needs and addressed my problem areas perfectly. He pinpointed the problem area—specifically my lower back and applied the perfect pressure.
