Masset Acupuncture & Physical Therapy

Michele is a world class physical therapist and true caregiver. For each of my appointments i had her all to myself for almost an entire hour. She carefully reviews the injury and then works with your body to heal and recover and strengthen. She is very careful in instructing exercises and stretches and other techniques to heal. She encourages recording her instruction on your phone so that you, in effect, have her personally with you at home to make sure you are following everything correctly.
I went to Michele with a hip joint injury and my goal was to avoid surgery. Not only did Michele help me to achieve my goal to avoid surgery, she has also gotten me to the point of enjoying everyday activities and even exercise pain free.
If you are suffering from an injury, you need to go to Michele. I’ve been to many different physical therapists throughout my long history of various injuries and Michele is the best ever.

Michele’s ability to find the root of the problem and then immediately get to work on it is stunning. After multiple traumatic injuries to my neck and back, and subsequent visits to all varieties of orthopedic specialists, neurosurgeons, chiropractors, and physical and massage therapists, I had lost hope of ever feeling really good again. After two visits however, she managed to relieve my acid reflux-​like symptoms and mid-​back pain that had plagued me since my first traumas. She then began the process of unwinding my «hopeless» neck and upper back through her multiple manual therapy techniques and the body rolling home exercises she assigned. During our sessions, she talked to me about my habitual thinking that I was unable to get well and helped me unwind that as well. Gradually, I got better, until one day, incredibly, I was ready to go off on my own.
I feel so lucky to be living in the same city as Michele– she is exceptionally well-​trained, but her intuition and familiarity with the body is what is truly remarkable. To me, she is the ultimate «body doctor.»

Michele has transformed my life. I was in pain (my foot) for 1.5 years and went to over a dozen doctors and continually got misdiagnosed. Michele correctly diagnosed me in the first session by looking at my whole body. She has a rare combination of exquisite knowledge, talent, and intuition. She gave me manageable exercises that I could do at home to continue to improve that were tailored to me and fit into my schedule. I left her office in significantly less pain, but also with a sense of calm and confidence that I could overcome the pain. Michele, thank you for giving me my life back!
