We focus on restorative and holistic health. We specialize in the alleviation of chronic and severe pain to help people live active, full lifestyles.
Our integrative techniques treat pain and discomfort without medicine, surgery and medical procedures – offering patients a positive and comfortable experience that minimizes side effects and risk.
We are advocates of preventative care and know that regular physical therapy visits can prevent pain and disease before it starts.
As healers who deeply understand anatomy, we are in tune with how every organ and every muscle is part of a larger, integrated system. Our goal is to keep human systems running smoothly and at full capacity.
Dr. Michelle Deslauriers
PT, DPT
Michelle earned her Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) degree in 2005 from Washington University in St. Louis, the top ranked PT school in the nation. She received her bachelor of science in Exercise Science from the George Washington University. As a result of her training with distinguished faculty, including Shirley Sahrmann, PT, PhD, FAPTA at Washington University, Michelle has an individualized and creative approach to treating patients.
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.
When she's not in the clinic, Michelle enjoys playing tennis, frisbee, biking, and spending time with her son.
