Ready to move well?

Hello! I’m

Marisa Michele, LAc.

Acupuncturist, Mobility Specialist & Prehab Coach

For over 14 years, I’ve helped people break cycles of injury and learn to sustainably support their mobility through customized treatments, exercise strategies & preventative habits.

My clients are looking to...

✓ move well, age gracefully and train sustainably

✓ stop feeling “feeling their age” and chronically fragile

✓ learn to use movement and myofascial releases as medicine

✓ develop a strong system of prehab strategies to support healthy range of motion

✓ experience a holistic approach to injury rehab, athletic recovery & joint health

✓ skip the guess work and get personalized strategies that actually make a difference

  • The MoveWell Clinic was founded by Marisa Michele in 2023.

    She offers 1:1 acupuncture, manual therapy, and mobility training to help her clients break cycles of pain & injury while building the preventative habits they need to move well, train sustainably and age gracefully.

    As a hybrid in-person and virtual clinic, you can work with Marisa in Union Square NYC or remotely* through virtual sessions and the Mobility Prehab App.

    *Virtual clinic coming soon!

  • Holistic healing formula

    • Blending treatment, training and strategic habits for best results. We'll use the appropriate therapies reinforced with progressive training and preventative habits to break your cycles of injury and pain.

    Your care, in your hands

    • Prioritizing your autonomy, consent and active role in the healing process. We keep treatment collaborative and based on open communication.

    Education

    • Empowering you with an improved understanding of your body and how it communicates its needs with you through symptoms - then teaching you simple strategies to help you help yourself.

    Refinement

    • Adjusting your treatment plan according to your feedback, any observed symptom changes and anatomy-based timelines.

    Support for every phase of your healing

    • Because your healing era is made up of many small journeys. With every major healing goal you achieve, your therapy plan will evolve with you.

    Honesty

    • Keeping it real. If I see that I'm not the right fit for your care, I'll let you know and advise on the next best steps.
