Prior to studying physical therapy, Michelle received a Bachelor of Art degree in biology with a minor in fine art at Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, NH. Her background in science and art has helped to shape her personal philosophy toward physical therapy, which incorporates a passion for manual therapy and somatic movement. Michelle's use of manual therapy and somatic movement are strongly routed in the sciences of anatomy and kinesiology with a focus on alignment and body mechanics. Mastering the use of the hands and therapeutic touch is an art, and Michelle is devoted to a lifestyle of continuous education to develop as a practitioner  and to provide quality patient care.
