Our Approach

Root Cause. Not Quick Fixes.
Our approach blends advanced manual therapy, Neurokinetic Therapy (NKT), and strength-based coaching to create long-term results.

  • Personalized Assessment: Every plan begins with understanding your body—its patterns, imbalances, and needs.

  • Hands-On Care: We use targeted techniques to restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve function.

  • Strength for Life: We reinforce every gain through functional strength training, so results last.

This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. It’s a partnership focused on real progress—at your pace, built around your goals.

Mike’s approach to pain management and performance bridges the gap between therapy and strength. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, movement specialist, and strength coach, he helps clients move beyond pain through a combination of biomechanical assessment, manual therapy, and targeted training.

His experience spans from working with the NY Giants, NY Liberty, and NYC Marathon, to treating patients in outpatient physical therapy clinics across Manhattan—addressing everything from TMJ dysfunction and frozen shoulder to post-surgical rehabilitation and chronic pain.

Mike is passionate about showing people that they’re far more resilient than they realize. He believes everyone has an “inner athlete,” whether your goal is to pick up your grandkids without pain, return to the gym with confidence, or compete at a higher level in your sport.
