MICHAEL PYS: OSTEOPATHIC MANUAL THERAPIST

Michael Pys is a Diplomate in Osteopathic Manual Therapy, having completed his  training at the Osteopathic College of Ontario, along with formal education in Neuromuscular Therapy at the St. John Neuromuscular Pain Relief Institute.

With more than three decades of clinical experience, he has devoted his career to hands-on, patient-centered care, working with individuals from all walks of life, including those referred through select North Shore medical practices.

His clinical focus encompasses a broad spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions, with particular expertise in migraines and headaches, cervical spine disorders, and both acute and chronic back pain.

Central to his work is a distinct emphasis on identifying and addressing the underlying mechanical and functional contributors to pain. Rather than focusing solely on symptom relief, Michael Pys applies a comprehensive, integrative approach that includes neuromuscular therapy and a range of osteopathic manual techniques—among them the Pys Headache Method, muscle energy techniques, positional release, myofascial therapy, manual traction, cranial osteopathy, and craniosacral therapy—all grounded in classical osteopathic principles.

In 2026, he authored “Migraine or Headaches? What You’ve Never Been Told,” a work that reflects both his clinical experience and his perspective on the mechanical origins of headache disorders.
