DR. MIKE WASILISIN

MoveU Founder

​

In the year 2000, as just a young lad, Dr. Mike began his 17-year journey in healthcare as a rehab trainer at a chiropractic clinic. 9 years later he earned a bachelors degree in human psychology and a doctorate degree in chiropractic. Afterward, on his pursuit of success for himself and his clients, he found some success, but mostly failures as a sports rehab chiropractor. In 2013, he uncovered his true passion as an educator after creating and instructing a Kinesiology course at California State University to pre-physical therapy students. After working with over 10,000 patients in person, Dr. Mike recognized the pitfalls that existed within the broken healthcare system that caused the majority of patients to fail to achieve the outstanding results they were capable of. It was then that he committed to a higher purpose: inspiring the world to transform pain into a powerful mind and body. The result of the dedicated effort is what you know as MoveU.

Personally, Dr. Mike is a passionate spearfisherman and golfer and also enjoys action sports such as jiu-jitsu, mountain biking, and basket weaving.

ANDREW DETTELBACH
MoveU Co-Founder, Program Creator

​

Andrew was a Kinesiology student at California State University when he became an intern at Dr. Mike’s clinic in 2013. Shortly after that he severely injured his lower back, more specifically he had a 10mm disc herniation at L4/L5. Three surgeons and a bunch of physical therapists and trainers told him that surgery was his only option if he wanted a chance to live a normal life again.

Andrew refused surgery because he believed there was a better option. Dr. Mike tried to help him with adjustments, massage, stretching, and every other therapy, but nothing worked long term. Andrew devoted the next 2 years to rehabbing himself. Through education, trial and error, and deep determination he was able to figure out how to properly position and move his body to heal his pain and prevent re-injury. He is now in the best shape of his life and living with no limitations.

His mission is to help everyone develop the confidence in their body that he has in his own. His knowledge of body mechanics is extensive and his personal experience with overcoming significant injury has been a source of great inspiration to many.

Ben is an Australian born professional goalkeeper, currently living in the UK. He has been fortunate enough to work with and against former and current Premier League players, managers and coaches. 

During Ben’s more than decade long career as a professional athlete he has endured some almost career ending injuries and always searched for myofascial release tools to help him activate, recover and relieve pain. 

In April 2018 Ben met the founder and inventor of Theragun, Dr Jason Wersland. Since then he has been working with Theragun to understand protocols in muscle activation, recovery, and pain relief through high-frequency, high-amplitude neuromuscular percussive therapy.

Ben’s role as Head of Education in EMEA is to drive Culture and Education throughout the EU, Middle East and Asia Pacific. 

What differentiates Ben is his ability to balance our goal of creating wide reaching impact, with the humility to start with the one person in-front of him. He believes this is an essential ingredient for anyone creating a recipe to bring about change no matter how big or small. Theragun has been the vehicle which has allowed him to make this a reality.

Ben cares deeply about delivering a better understanding on the origins Theragun has been built on. He embodies our company mission and focuses on building strong relationships.
