Therapeutic Massage at Lakeland

 Michael Lopez, LMT

Michael’s introduction to the world of pain care came through his own struggles with low back pain. Through this experience he learned of the profound benefits to be had through massage therapy, chiropractic care and therapeutic exercise.

After massage school, he set out to learn as much as possible about how the application of manual therapy relates to various pain mechanisms, improving the way we move and ultimately reducing or eliminating pain.

His study of functional movement under the Prague school of rehabilitation’s Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization system and pain care under leading experts like Professor Stuart McGill and Annie O’Connor of “a world of hurt” all inform his treatment philosophy and aid him in bringing you the highest quality care possible.

I’m his spare time you can find him training various martial arts, rock climbing and hiking with his wife Kelly. He also has a deep passion for holistic health that has brought him to regenerative organic farming from a perspective of producing nutrient dense food.

Whether you are looking to address a specific concern or just looking to unwind and relax, Michael has you covered.

We offer massage as an added service for our chiropractic patients. While chiropractic care works to align the spine, massage works the soft tissues of the body and these two modalities are very complementary. We have a massage therapist available by appointment.  Call the office for more information.
