Michael is AMAZING! I joke with him that he is the miracle man, because after many years of pain and discomfort, he is the first person that has truly helped.

After working with Michael for two years, I feel younger, stand taller and weigh less. I’ve learned strategies and exercises to reduce pain, and just feel so much better now. Being in better shape has helped me reach my goals of having more energy, better posture, and lower blood sugar. I strongly recommend…

As a healthcare practitioner I do a lot with my hands and also spend a significant time charting, so when I recently strained my neck all of chronic inflammation and muscle tension I have built up in my shoulders and neck flared up to the point where I could not turn my neck!

My friend recommended Mike Slotin to me. She thought he could help with my back problems which were keeping me form doing even regular things like walking. She was right.

Michael is AMAZING! I joke with him that he is the miracle man, because after many years of pain and discomfort, he is the first person that has truly helped. I've done rolfing massage (not for the faint of heart, but life changing beyond expectations), as well as strength training and mobility exercises with Michael. His extensive knowledge of the human muscular system, and how everything is connected, is phenomenal. I complain about pain in my shoulders and back, and he works on my hips, IT bands, and tight calf muscles, and the shoulder and back pain literally melts away. I'm so Thankful and Grateful to have found Michael, and I can't recommend him highly enough. It won't take long to figure out why he is has the nickname of M3 (miracle man Michael).

I have had the opportunity to have Michael Slotin as my trainer and massage therapist for over a year now. As a health care professional myself, I have been impressed with Michael’s knowledge of anatomy and physiology as it pertains to strength training, weight loss, pain management and therapeutic massage. Michael is a wealth of knowledge and strives to educate his clients while helping them achieve their personal goals.

one of the best classes I have participated in. It was quick, effective, pain free and so informative. Michael knows so much about your body and makes it easy to understand what you can do to be pain free!

I have been coming to Michael for a little over 2 years and i was in bad shape the first time i saw him. The knowledge that he as when it comes to massage and anatomy is like no other. He has taught me how the body works and has gotten me out of pain thru massage therapy. I am so grateful for his caring nature and his ability to help those in chronic pain. I have just started a new program with him on posture assessment and feel strongly that this will be the answer to becoming Pain Free!!!

I am a 76 year old woman whose had bilateral hip replacements. Before I started fitness therapy and therapeutic massage with Michael Slotin I had to lift my leg with my hand to get into my car and I couldn't get off the floor without pulling myself up holding on to the furniture. Now I swing my leg into my car without even thinking about it and I can get up off the floor under my own power. I rate Michael Slotin Fitness Therapy five stars but he deserves 10 stars for the improvement he's facilitated in my life. He's a true professional in every way. I will work with him for as long as I'm able. I encourage anyone who is suffering pain or just wants to improve their fitness level, give him a try. You won't be sorry.
