About
Dr. Michael Quasney (Dr. Q) has been helping people for over 17 years. Initially, he worked in social services, specifically in therapeutic foster care, guiding foster children and teaching foster parents. After realizing a passion for movement, he became a personal trainer and quickly found that his patients were using his services to heal. An easy progression brought him to the University of Western States, graduating in 2015 with a Doctorate in Chiropractic.
He is now able to combine all aspects of healthcare into a singular focus while bringing empathy and community back to healthcare. Dr. Q has received multiple certifications around fitness and behavioral intervention. He loves grip strength training, handstands, squats, and barefoot running (yes, really barefoot and yes, even in the city and no, he has never had any problems) and trains Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at American Top Team Portland. He is also ranked in the top 1% in the world in Call of Duty Mobile.
