Mike Dow | Licensed Massage Therapist and Medical Qigong Practitioner

Mike Dow is a licensed massage therapist and certified medical qigong practitioner specializing in the integration of advanced manual therapies with traditional energetic modalities to support musculoskeletal health, nervous system regulation, and overall systemic balance. He graduated from the Core Institute of Massage Therapy and Bodywork in Tallahassee, Florida, in 2009 and has completed extensive post-graduate certifications in craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, medical massage therapy, and sports massage therapy.

Mike’s clinical practice incorporates a broad range of therapeutic interventions, including myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, neuromuscular therapy, trigger point therapy, and Thai-style stretching techniques adapted for the table. His approach is informed by a deep understanding of fascial dynamics, neurovascular structures, and soft tissue rehabilitation, allowing for targeted treatment of both chronic and acute pain conditions, postural dysfunctions, and injury recovery.

In addition to his clinical training, Mike has pursued extensive studies in the Stillness-Movement Medical Qigong lineage since 2015. This internal energetic training underpins his practice of Daoist Neuro-Energetic Balancing (DNEB), a specialized method focused on restoring optimal function to the body's energetic networks, autonomic nervous system, and connective tissue systems. DNEB techniques complement manual therapies by facilitating deeper levels of neuro-energetic integration and homeostasis.

Mike’s multidisciplinary background also includes training in other energy-based therapeutic systems, providing an additional layer of sensitivity and adaptability to his clinical work.

Each session is individually tailored, combining evidence-based manual therapy protocols with traditional energetic balancing techniques to promote structural realignment, reduce pain, regulate the nervous system, and enhance the body's innate healing capacities. His approach is patient-centered, outcome-oriented, and designed to support both immediate symptom relief and long-term functional improvement.
