We have a wide-ranging conversation on different methods of lifestyle improvement. Follow him here: @Mocean.LA Mike earned his doctorate from Touro University in 2015, graduating with distinction in clinical excellence. In 2017, he completed his postgraduate specialization in orthopedic manual therapy through the North American Institute of Orthopedic Manual Therapy.Despite his extensive background in orthopedics, Mike realized that he was missing a huge piece of the human body puzzle: unless we understand how the body works as a holistic, integrated system, how could real health be achieved? This insight led him to embrace a holistic approach to care, focusing on the body as an integrated system rather than just individual parts.Mike believes that lasting health requires restoring the body’s innate healing abilities. He uses objective testing and analysis to establish a baseline for his client’s health and identify underlying issues. Together with his clients, Mike develops a clear plan of care, and takes the time to help his clients understand everything going on in their bodies.His philosophy of care is centered around deep empathy, creating safe places for his clients to feel seen and heard.
