Thank you Michael for treating my shoulder today! I came in with shoulder a bit stiff. After working with Michael, I was able to have a little more mobility and range of motion. He applied the right amount of pressure and helpful movements while also asking questions and paying attention to how I was feeling and responding. Thank you again Mike!
