Michael knows the body and how to maximize its potential. As a personal trainer myself, I sought out Michael for his background with PRI and FRS. He was able to fix and educate me on some long standing body issues. Highly recommended for fitness or body/pain management.

Hey Michael, I wanted to thank you for helping me get my shoulder impingement issue resolved before my competition I was able to get the national record bench press in my age/weight category at 369 lbs. Thanks again, Wendell Blount

Michael is by far the best professional in the field I have ever worked with. The deep tissue massage was a game changer in my workout routine, improving muscle recovery and boosting my performance. The joint therapy gave me a better body awareness on how to perform in order to prevent injuries, in addition to treating a left shoulder chronic pain. Dr. Igor Vidal

So patient and subtle yet motivating. Always different and you never feel like you are going to hurt yourself but are sore! A good sore!

I love working with Michael because he’s very knowledgeable and good with people. He has a keen eye for assessing needs without overwhelming you. I’ve slowly gotten back to training after being out for months and in just a few short weeks with Michael, I feel like I have all of my strength back.

If you want to move pain free, find a class, make an appointment. I have been suffering with mid back pain for years after an injury and thought I had tried everything except surgery. After attending classes and learning some movements to incorporate throughout my day, my back is in a much better place. This class finds areas to train that you never knew you could. If you move at all you will benefit from this. Knee problems, hip issues, shoulder pain, whatever you have… this helps and corrects. Michael has a great sense of humor and is great about teaching the what, why and how. Highly recommend! Less

I have had eight major knee surgeries and have been with the same trainer for almost 12 years.

I would strongly recommend this to any high level athlete or individual interested in improving their functionality. Less

Michael is on another level. I've had shoulder impingement issues my whole life. I've been in and out of physical therapy and even had 3 shoulder surgeries. 3 weeks of training with Micheal has shown more range of motion results than I ever got from therapy. Infact, I'm certain that if I had worked with him when my issues first started in my 20s, I would have never needed surgery. If you have any... More

I went to Michael’s Range Train class at 24e a couple weeks ago and loved it. As a trainer, he walks us through how to move through each deep stretch. He is also a massage therapist and works one-on-one with clients. As a therapist, he finds my “sticky” spots and works those muscles so I feel refreshed after a session!

I’m 72 years old and have been practicing JiuJitsu for three years. Michael was recommended to me by my granddaughter, McKenzie, who is a distance runner for Samford University. I’ve been having hip and back issues that have been steadily improving since I started working with Michael. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in improving their overall joint health!!

I have been training with Michael through Range class at 24e for about 3 months now. I look forward to attending his class every week! I am middle-aged with several occupational and sports related injuries- this type of training has helped recover those injuries more than traditional physical therapy. I can tell a huge difference in my overall strength both outside of the gym and at the gym.

The value of this type of movement therapy is beyond words. I noticed a difference in my joints soon after my first session. Range Training has helped me incorporate better movement into my daily workouts. Michael is very good at explaining the movements and their benefits.

I've suffered from hip pain for several years and had yet to find a long term solution to fix the pain. Reform Motion has changed that! The exercises Michael taught me work and my hip feels so much better. He is super friendly and good at explaining the exercises.

Michael has been such a blessing! I have been able to regain mobility in my shoulder and get back in the gym 💪🏻 He is a great instructor and knows how to teach in a way you can remember and are actually excited to do the movements at home to see improvement daily. I do my CARS daily, before and after workouts. Thanks Michel!

Michael is passionate and very knowledgeable about joint pattern movements. He’s patient and does a great job not only breaking down the moves but explaining the all important WHY as to how it will help you recover or enhance your athletic abilities.

Michael brings to Birmingham a fresh perspective on human movement that will transform how you think about mobility and flexibility, and what it truly means to be a functional human.

We all deal with aches, pains and injuries, and we're quick to chalk it up to bad genetics or aging, but the truth is we have the power to recapture lost range of motion and greatly reduce our rates of injury and the effects of aging, and Michael will show you how.

Michael did an incredible job helping me with my shoulder injury. He not only helped me during the session but also gave me invaluable education and exercises on how to prevent my injury from reoccurring.

I have a lot of experience with muscle & joint therapy, and I’ve never experienced anything as effective as what Michael practices. I hate to describe him as a massage therapist because what he does is much different and much greater than what any other massage therapist practices (at least in Bham).

I have a lot of experience with muscle & joint therapy, and I’ve never experienced anything as effective as what Michael practices. I hate to describe him as a massage therapist because what he does is much different and much greater than what any other massage therapist practices (at least in Bham). I am a personal trainer, strength coach, powerlifter and bodybuilder, plus I struggle with Fibromyalgia and RA, so with the high level of strain and activity I put on my body, I have to take my recovery very seriously. After several months working with other massage therapists, chiropractors and even physical therapists on my hip and shoulder mobility issues, it only took one session with Michael to get me more mobile and pain free than I have been in many years. I can’t wait to see how much better I get after multiple regular sessions with him! I’m referring him to everyone I know!! He’s next level! Thanks Michael! :D Less

Absolutely love working with MIchael. His approach to joint mobility is like nothing I've ever experienced before. This is more than just a massage - this is an muscle/joint activation session where you are taught how to improve your own mobility. I"m looking forward to many more sessions with MIchael.

This is not spa massage. This is a I've hurt my back please help therapy. Michael did a great job. I can move. I will be a repeat client to keep my back as healthy as possible.

I'm so glad I met Michael at 24e. He was my trainer. I pretty much have constant neck/shoulder pain. Upper body work outs & an old injury increased the pain. So I finally made an appointment to see him. I'm not a fan of massages. I've not found them to be helpful, but this was different. He knew exactly what to do to relieve the pain & it was gone after a week. I'm still amazed & continue to feel... More

I always appreciate muscle work from therapist who care, listen and willing to learn to adapt. Michaels is exactly that. Get on his books now cause he will be booked up very soon! Thankful for his work and attention to detail.

Had bursitis in my leg and also pain running down my leg from a back problem. After a few visits all the leg pain is gone. I can now sleep on that side, when i couldn’t before. Highly recommended. He also noticed other problems i need to address

Michael’s approach to treating the body is exceptional. He has an innate understanding of your needs and actively engages you in the process for more effective recovery.

I’m very happy that I came to see Michael, he asked questions if I have any pain, mobility issues, etc... he was very concern on what to do to make me feel better . He is amazing at what he does! Athletes, he will really help you . I highly recommend him .
