WHAT PEOPLE SAY- read more reviews here
"Proactive is exactly that...PROACTIVE! When I came to see Michael I was in a world of pain. I didn't realize the extent of my issues but I knew that I was locked in an unnatural position. Michael listened carefully to my complaints during the initial intake. He carefully studied my posture and recommended a course of action. I am a tennis player who previously played 4-5 times a week but I was now incapable of playing at all. Within 2 weeks, with Michael's treatment and intense work, I was back on the court! This NOT a "fluffy massage" place. Proactive is REAL game changer for real issues of pain and discomfort. I will continue to see Michael on a regular basis...And, you should also."
"My right shoulder was a disaster area and Michael in one session was able to get me to full mobility and back in the game ( pickleball) . I am extremely grateful that I gave home the opportunity to evaluate my situation and come up with a plan and make it work. Not only my shoulder but also increased my neck rotation and gave me great advice on improving my posture. I highly recommend. BTW I’m a nurse practitioner and generally seek more traditional orthopedic care but It wasn’t conveniently available. I’m glad I didn’t go that route this time. Thanks again for your excellent care!"
"His overall professionalism with massage and breath work is top notch. Life changing"
