DR. MIKE'S STORY
Dr. Mike’s journey in healthcare and fitness began in 2000 at a chiropractic rehab clinic while earning a Psychology degree from Kent State in 2004. In 2009, he earned his doctorate in chiropractic from Palmer College, specializing in body mechanics, strength training, pain psychology, and soft tissue therapy through TPI, ART, FMS, and SFMA. From 2009 to 2017, he built a thriving private practice in San Diego and began teaching Kinesiology at California State University while running CaliSpine, a clinic specializing in low back pain rehab. After a viral quadratus lumborum video hit 4 million views in 2015, he committed to going fully online, frustrated with the limitations of traditional healthcare. That led to the creation of MoveU in 2016, a movement helping people take control of their bodies with structured programs free from insurance red tape. Now, with over 3 million social media followers, more than 150,000 people having gone through MoveU programs, the impact continues to grow. Featured in Men’s Health, CBS, and Live with Mark & Kelly, Dr. Mike’s mission is clear—helping people stop treating pain like an emergency and start realizing it’s a lifestyle issue that can be fixed through awareness, movement, and a long-term plan.
Our Methodology encourages strong “Positional Presence”
Positional presence is the term given to the heightened awareness and connection that you’ll feel to your body’s alignment in every posture, movement, and position. You’ll be more self-assured and agile so that you can rapidly alter your body as needed to avoid injury or aggravating an existing problem, and if an accident or re-injury does occur, you’ll know how to recover faster and get back on track.
In essence, we teach you to assess and address your imbalances.
Combined with our strong community and live coaching, we continue to strive towards our mission of bringing otherwise complex movement and therapy into people’s lives in an accessible, affordable and efficient way.
