About Me:
Ben is originally from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and has a strong background in athletics. As a former college wrestler, he continues to utilize his energy to empower patients to accomplish their goals. He employs a pragmatic approach towards therapy utilizing a wide variety of evidence based techniques and interventions. Ben is well versed in spinal and peripheral joint manipulation. He addresses soft tissue dysfunction and pain through instrument assisted soft tissue techniques such as cupping and dry needling.

Ben is interested in novel approaches and continues to grow his background in movement science with integration of manual techniques and modalities. He is known for thinking outside the box and has a down to earth communication style. Ben enjoys working across a spectrum of ages and abilities and can scale his interventions to match individual goals and functional level.
