Michelle uses a variety of hands-on techniques focusing on connective tissue (fascia). Integrative Manual Therapy® (IMT) is a unique array of gentle osteopathic techniques that delivers outstanding results for patients.  Michelle is also a practitioner of the John F. Barnes myofascial release approach. This work is based on scientific evidence and bridges the gap between traditional western medicine and alternative medicine. Michelle combines these techniques with traditional physical therapy techniques, dry needling, postural restoration, and functional movement.
