Michael is a Licensed Massage Therapist with 25+ years of experience as a former owner of Boulder wellness center and now finding joy in private practice. His work addresses core and root issues behind chronic pain. He utilizes state of the of art tools like Neurostims, IR and red laser therapy, craniosacral therapy, cupping, myofascial release, acu-pressure, and/or massage therapy. Yet, the newest pain-brain neuroscience is what offers Michael the understanding of meeting his clients needs and when to refer out. His goal is to help his clients understand the emotional and physical relationship to overcoming chronic pain. He embraces the healing journey with compassion and tools for regaining mobility and ease in their bodies.
Michael brings gratitude for serving clients for over 25 years with personal training, Active Release Technique (ART), massage therapy, Craniosacral Therapy, somatic movement, Neurostim certs., and many additional cont. education hours related to the body, mind and soul. He loves to learn about the brain and body connection to reduce stress and pain = living more gratitude, less pain, more joy and THRIVING.
"Restorative Therapist" is the best description of this work. Yet, my practice is ever-evolving toward coaching.
Biggest differentiation: passion and tools to support chronic pain with past traumas, surgeries and scars (4 month - 40 years ago) that may be unconsciously up-regulating the ANS = pain and anxiety.
Optimal chronic pain client: The client with a chronic, debilitating knee, elbow or back pain having past or recent abdominal area surgeries (gallbladder, C-sections, or intestinal scarring, appendix, etc.) + higher life stressors.
Most of 1st time visits will be educated to how many return visits (usually 3-6). For clients coming in with multiple injury patterns and many past surgeries, min. of 6 sessions may be needed to change up the brain-body-pain patterns. New clients recommended to book 85 min. sessions to allow for assessments and tx. The 1st and 2nd sessions are usually higher % of Neurostim work for recalibrating the brain from past injuiries that may have upregulated your nervous system = increase of pain anywhere in the body and increasing internal anxiety..
Your follow ups may be shorter durations. Please bring a pair of shorts and sports bra or tank top to ease in evaluation and treatment.
If looking for quality bodywork for body aches and de-stressing, book in for 65 or 85 min. If I am booked, see www.facwellness.com and book with Trevor Harris, Dan Rapkin, or Victoria Robertson.
