I have been going to Chris for almost two years. I had been battling with Epstein Barr for years and I was so sick lymph nodes were flared up all over my body. After my first visit with Chris they were all balanced in two days! It was unbelievable! He has helped me with back and neck issues. Now he is helping me with some liver cysts and I know it’s working. He is able to help the body in ways I’ve never seen before. Don’t give up on healing yourself he will want to be apart of your health team!

Chris has given me a new lease on life. I had an MRI and was diagnosed with sciatica and other related problems caused by the two lower vertebra. Walking was painful and there was little or no hope, according to my doctor, outside of an operation. After the first treatment from Chris I was walking much better, now I am mostly pain free. I highly recommend Chris for back and leg problems, it was my lucky day when I found him.

After suffering with a constant pain in my left thigh for three months and trying other treatments, a friend suggested Chris. After one treatment last October 2016 the pain subsided markedly. Two treatments later the pain was gone and has not returned.

I saw Chris after 3 years of "unexplained" numbness/tingling/decreased arm function. I've had multiple types of therapies and the arm problems would come back with any increase in use. After a couple of treatments, the numbness was decreasing and I could increase my activity. Each session, Chris enhanced my understanding of the intricacies of how body systems work to support one another while also discussing what I could do to support healing. Originally seeing him for arm and hand issues, he also addressed my lower back (14 years chronic pain) and migraines. His holistic approach is impressive and made me feel like a person while working with him, not a body part. Thanks, Chris, for working out the kinks and helping me build awareness as to things causing them. And thanks for sharing your passion and continued learning in this technique. I have a better quality of life--cooking, crafting, and exercising because I can actually do these without experiencing symptoms!

Tori, It has been such a pleasure working with you and assisting you in your healing process.

I went to see Chris about a knee problem that had been giving me pain for several months and was preventing me from enjoying my normal physical activities like walking, yoga, running and biking. After a couple months of treatment, simple stretches and exercises the pain is mostly gone and my flexibility has been restored. What I liked most about Chris’s approach was that he took a holistic view of the problem. He worked his way out from the knee ligaments to other connected areas of the body to restore balance and strength to the knees, lower back and abdomen. You can tell that he is passionate about continually learning and practicing his work which made me feel like I was working with the right person to solve the problem.

I am very thankful for finding Chris to work with me. I have tried many things over the last 18 years to improve my tight muscles, nerves, pain, circulation, walking, physical endurance, etc. Since I have been working with Chris, the length of time and distance that I can walk has increased, my sleeping has improved, I am in less pain and I am able to work and play more hours. In short, my quality of life is better. The improvements that I have with Chris stick around and problems often just go away. While I know that my progress is due to Chris’s skills, it does feel like magic sometimes. I can go into an appointment with Chris with pain and walk out without it. I am really excited about continuing to work with Chris to make further gains.

Before I saw Chris I was suffering with a sense of spinning, dizziness, and nausea that was brought on by getting up out of bed. At times I would have to grab onto things so that I wouldn’t fall over. Laying down was the worst, I felt a sense of spinning and was extremely nauseated. I was reluctant to see a doctor because I did not want to be prescribed medication for my dizziness. I had an appointment with Chris for some other aches and pains when I mentioned my dizziness issue. He checked me out and discovered that I had a certain type of dizziness that could be helped by a specific technique. As he placed me into the treatment position I immediately experienced the same spinning and nausea. He assured me that this was part of the treatment and to continue to breathe. My symptoms began to subside and then when he sat me up I felt pretty good. The next day I sent him a text and told him that the dizziness was gone! I couldn’t believe it. I am so grateful for the work that Chris did with me and now I am back to normal

There’s an amazing healer in town for people living with chronic pain. I had a session at Chris Michels Physical Therapy yesterday and he seriously did some amazing work on an old painful shoulder injury. Seriously, I’ve got more range of motion in my shoulder than in the last five years of various treatments. It took him all of five minutes to diagnose what was going on.

For two years I had a strange, undiagnosed pain in my lower abdomen and hip area that would flare up after activity especially hiking and exercise.  My traditional doctor completed several exams but could not determine the cause and therefore had no decisive treatment for the issue.  Continuing to seek resolution, I found Chris Michels Physical Therapy!  Chris balances his clinically trained approach with his intuitive understanding of body, mind, and soul.  He listens on many levels.  Complete presence, confidence, and a willing curiosity, he remains open to explore and encourage the fundamental aspects of the issue to dynamically reconnect to promote healing.  Even with my first visit with Chris my pain went away!  I’ve had over a year so far of being resolved of this issue completely!  I enjoy my active life again thanks to Chris Michels Physical Therapy!

Not only was Chris the only one who gave me real relief, but in the process of healing my leg he noticed a tight jaw.  For 3 years I hadn’t been able to go to the dentist because I couldn’t open my mouth wide enough to have my teeth examined.  Within a few minutes of work for the first time in 3 years I was able to open my mouth wide enough to insert 3 fingers.  I’m truly grateful for the kind, gentle healing this incredible man facilitates.
