Forge Body Therapy

Michael is a fantastic manual therapist, and a fantastic person. As a chiropractor, I am very picky about who I allow to work on and with me. Michael's understanding of movement, goals, and communication leads to a wonderful session that will encourage you to work alongside him to get yourself back to a life with better mobility and less pain.

Michael is phenomenal. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about what he does. He wants to share his knowledge and truly help his clients. His technique is different - more like Thai massage, so if you’re used to getting Swedish or deep tissue massages don’t go expecting that type of massage. However it’s this different approach that makes Michael so great. I feel like I have a new body whenever I get off the massage table that I never had with other practitioners. I had been going to physical therapy, chiropractors, and getting massages for years because of low back pain and sciatic pain. He’s the first person who actually taught me about my body and what *I* can do to alleviate and prevent my symptoms. For the first time I’m years I’m pain free almost daily, and know how to tr

Michael has been an integral part of my miraculous recovery journey. In September 2024, I was run over by a truck as a pedestrian. After being hospitalized for a month and wheelchair bound, I've been simultaneously visiting Michael and in physical therapy weekly. His knowledge in how musculature works, his ability and willingness to educate me on how my body works, how our bodies accept and recover from trauma and what massage can do to aid in the recover journey has helped me recover from hospitalized and immobile to an active, able-bodied mom of two young ones. I've been meeting with him for 3 months and my improvements are visible. My limp is minimized, my hip alignment is better, the flexibility in my foot is improved. Without Michael, who knows how much longer my recovery journey wo

I’ve been seeing Michael for a little over a year and he’s been able to help me with things physical therapists and occupational therapists have not been able to help with FOR YEARS! He’s also changed my sister’s life as she’s been helpless and depressed from similar issues like mine. He’s super knowledgeable of each muscle in the body and is able to tailor the massage to help you with your problem. Highly recommend Michael for any issues you may have from injury or pain from repetitive motion!

I’ve been seeing Michael regularly for over a year and his bodywork has become integral to my gym training and recovery. He focuses on problem areas, and makes sure to regularly check in on pressure and muscle discomfort, all while creating a calming environment. I always leave feeling more mobile, centered, and physically sound.
