Treatment Approach
Michelle incorporates many techniques into her treatments including soft tissue massage, joint manipulation, patient education, and exercise prescription specific to the individual. She adopts a holistic approach, treating the source of pain and dysfunction rather than symptoms alone. Michelle treats an array of conditions including back, neck pain and sporting injuries having experienced many herself.
