Originally from Chicago, Michael Staszak moved to Eugene in 1994 and has been living here and practicing as a Physical Therapist ever since. He has been a private practice owner since 2001, initially as co-owner of Bodywise Physical Therapy, eventually opening Staszak Physical Therapy & Wellness Center in 2010 with Mary. He feels privileged to be in this healing profession, helping people on a daily basis.

Michael has attended dozens of continuing education courses (CEUs) over the years and has taken bits and pieces from each to create his own approach to manual therapy, education, and exercise. His focus goes beyond just the specific area of injury, addressing the various causal factors that bring on an injury and that often include compensations throughout the entire body. This approach has proven to be extremely effective in helping people recover from an injury and preventing future problems.

Outside of work, Michael enjoys spending time with his family, exercising, traveling, gardening, and the outdoors.
