New clients: 1st couple of sessions may be treating adaptive patterns that may be 'dumping' onto the chronic pain area. Most clients will receive abdominal, hip flexors and diaphragm release to create more organic movement and support 'vagal toning' for pain management.
Multiple approaches to pain management and wellbeing:
Bodywork Towards Wellness
Choose to live a healthy and fulfilling life. Wellness is more than being free from illness: it is a process of change and growth towards a mentally and physically healthy lifestyle. Massage therapy, myofascial therapy, cupping and craniosacral therapy are vital to your injury and sports recovery. Let alone, the ability to exhale from life's stressors is important ingredients to navigating our calmer minds.
Michael honors the 'restorative phase' of deep-tissue, craniosacral and myofascial massages. The nervous system calming allows an optimal healing environment for muscles, tendons, organs, and the soul.
Cold Laser Therapy for Pain Management
Latest Addition to pain management: Michael purchased the latest technology in cold laser for reducing pain and inflammation. This Avant laser will be applied to specific areas for optimal benefits (a stand will hold laser while I focus on other areas).

Scar Therapy (especially past surgeries close location to painful or restrictive area)
The MPS Neurostim units have changed Michael's practice. Neurostim Therapy is the world’s first integrative therapy developed exclusively to sympathetically DE-Regulate the ANS and fight chronic pain. The theoretical underpinnings of Neurostim Therapy are based on combining the “therapeutic pearls” of acupuncture, osteopathy, integrative dentistry, neural therapy with modern neurology and microcurrent.
Neurostim can add more pliability to internal scar tissue more than any solo soft tissue work. And it can change the chemistry of osteoarthritis' micro-inflammation producing less joint pain.
Michael welcomes:
- knee replacements that don't have the ROM 2+ months post-op
-trigger fingers that surgery didn't help
-arthritic, rigid big toes and knees
-all abdominal region past surgeries, even if they are not the source of pain. The 20 year old gallbladder, appendectomy, and C-section can start the fascial restrictions in creating mal-alignment leading to knee and lower back pain.

Somatic Awareness & Brain Pain Change
We use our executive (thinking) brain to learn a new language, cooking recipes, tennis lessons, etc. Somatic sensory is learning to be an observer to the body 'behind the firewall' of our thinking brain. It's understanding the 'body's red engine light' to a potential pain or discomfort. Michael will be intake past traumas and internal 'monkey mind' thoughts that may have up-regulated the nervous system, in which, may be contributing to some of the current chronic pain. This can be achieved with breath, Neurostim, craniosacral, guided imagery, body awareness, and visualization. The end result is to recalibrate the brain in sending pain signals.
