Credentials:
Healing Motion is based directly on the teachings of Pete Egoscue and the Egoscue Method Clinic in San Diego, California. Michelle graduated with a B.A. in Exercise Physiology, and trained and worked at the main Egoscue clinic in San Diego for four years. She has also served as the interim director of the Egoscue clinic in Chicago. Michelle is the most experienced therapist offering this technique in Minnesota.
How does the therapy process work?
The therapy process begins with an initial consultation to visually determine the alignment of your body. Photos are taken to compare your posture to the ideal blueprint of the body. Overall posture and gait are assessed and an individually tailored set of exercises is designed for each client. Clients continue their exercises at home and are reevaluated for a new set of exercises with each visit.
How long before I will feel better?
Most clients see and feel results immediately, and the process typically takes 4-8 sessions for the body to adapt.
Are the exercises hard to do?
The therapy uses your muscles to move your skeletal bones, and therefore the exercises gently change your posture.
Does health insurance cover this therapy?
Typically health insurance does not cover Healing Motion therapy, but for some employers flex spending can be used.
What should I bring the first visit?
Please bring comfortable clothes to do exercises in. It is best to bring shorts, or pants that can be rolled up past the knee in order to look at the alignment.
How long are the sessions?
The sessions typically last 1 1/2 hours. The first session tends to last a little longer for the explanation of your photos and to answer additional questions.
