STRONG YES FROM ME!!!
If you're looking for a weak Swedish "fix" that feels good for 3 days, look further. Michael is the real deal. He is passionate about curing your pain and alignment problems and has extensive practice and specialized training combining the best practices of the West and the East.
I was having severe back pain, and went to him, barely able to walk. Instead of just making my muscles feel good, he started by measuring things like % bend in the hips, analyzing flexibility and muscular fiber group shifts to pain-compensate. He explained the role of the fascia and took his time. After the first session I was like...hmm we just did some mobility manipulation and I didn't get the "soma" of a Swedish relax, but he said he was getting my structures ready for the next step. So although I left with better posture, I was hesitant but decided to trust him.
By the end of the 2nd session, it was Wow! Although he only worked a very specific area the full session (quite painfully)...AFTERWARDS...using some sort of myo-magic--not only could I do a squat again--without pain!!, but was able to bounce down the steps with a hop in my skip. I could go on about learning Yoga tightening techniques and other East-West voodoo from him--but suffice it to say--Micheal is awesome! Give your body what it needs through his practiced wisdom.
