About Michele Leasure
Combining osteopathic expertise with exceptional intuitive assessment skills
A Journey Rooted in Healing
My path began with a kinesiology degree from the University of Maryland, followed by my Master of Physical Therapy at Emory University, where I was mentored by an osteopathic clinician who "cured all my injuries." This transformative experience shaped my entire approach to healing.
With over 30 years in practice, I've specialized in orthopedic injuries and spine rehabilitation, I worked in a rehabilitation hospital the first 7yrs in practice. Worked with head injuries, strokes, and orthopedic injuries. Served as the director of the outpatient clinic, and had the honor of being the official physical therapist for the U.S. team at the 2002 World Equestrian Games. Patients appreciate my ability to sense and address subtle movement dysfunctions.

The Michele Leasure Method
I limit my caseload to ensure patients receive uninterrupted, one-on-one sessions in a quiet, friendly setting.
Whole-Body Perspective
I assess all systems (nervous, muscular, skeletal, lymphatic). This whole-body assessment, assures the root of the problem is identified.
Root-Cause Focus
Rather than masking symptoms, we identify and address underlying issues including postural dysfunction, movement compensations, and myofascial restrictions.
Osteopathic Manual Therapy
I employ hands-on techniques emphasizing myofascial release, joint mobilizations, and soft-tissue manipulation to restore optimal tissue health and mobility.
Patient Education & Empowerment
I emphasize identifying and correcting underlying contributors through tailored stretching regimens, ergonomic advice, and functional exercise programs.
