Michelle Weber Wellness

"I worked in person with Michelle for three years after a physical therapist recommended her methods for better results on physical challenges and pains linked to hypermobility. Following this recommendation was the best health-related decision I ever made (I know this is a bold statement, but I mean it). I would, and have on many occasions, recommended Michelle to others struggling with similar challenges. If you're interested in more specifics on my story, you can read on. I am hypermobile due to a connective tissue disorder (similar to EDS). For years, I injured myself easily, struggled with joint pain, muscle aches, trapped nerves, dislocations/subluxations. I saw physical therapists who helped with pain management through manipulations, but the issue and pain would reappear within days or even hours of a PT session. I didn't understand why and felt incredibly frustrated. My work with Michelle was different from anything I had tried before. First, Michelle looked at my entire body--not just at the injured section--and made connections I had never made. She suggested we work on areas I didn't think were at issue because she knew they would impact my pain and injuries. Over time, Michelle helped me understand which movements or habits were causing me pains and coached me on how to eliminate or replace them. Session after session, Michelle progressively educated me on the way in which my body moves, the way it should move (those were not always the same!), and how to marry the two. She also taught me a series of movements and exercises, which I can now implement if I injure myself or feel pain coming on. Michelle is not only extremely knowledgeable about bodies; she is also a clear communicator and is passionate about her work. Working with her was actually a major highlight of my weeks. My work with Michelle was a long-term commitment, but it completely changed the way in which I relate to my body and approach physical activities. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is experiencing recurring pains that physical therapy is not alleviating."

"At first, I was super skeptical about trying to learn something new with Michelle that "might" help me. What I found was that working with her is so much more than just gaining a release in pelvic pressure, which I had no idea I had, it is like meditation, Pilates, and an ab workout all in one . My nervous system is forever changed because of her too. Who knew?! I was fortunate enough to work with her once in NYC before continuing virtual lessons through Zoom. (Wish I still lived there to have the benefits of her Gyrotonic machine.) Michelle can see everything! The minor adjustments that she had me do while only watching me on Zoom was/is insane. You need to work with Michelle Weber, your body and mind will thank you."

"I cannot express my gratitude to Michelle enough. I came into her studio totally broken, and she fixed me. After herniating a disc in my lower back I had been to doctors, physical therapists, acupuncturists, and chiropractors and hadn't been able to improve my pain. I had basically given up hope that I would get my old way of life back. Michelle's compassion and professionalism got me back to my old self, and the tools she gave me to work with on my own have allowed me to stay on top of my health even when I can't get in to the studio. I am back to cycling, climbing, and surfing and I feel like I'm actually better at those activities now for having learned so much with Michelle. On top of her incredible skillset, she is a joy to be around and helps you work through your mental blocks just as much as your physical ones. In short, she's the best."
