Bridge Street Health / Move to Thrive
WHAT IS MOVE TO THRIVE?
Your doctor's hands are a diagnostic tool too.
Most doctors diagnose with tests. Dr. Hendrixson also diagnoses with touch.
As a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine, Dr. Hendrixson has specialized training in medical school in a hands-on evaluation and treatment, Osteopathic Manipulation Treatment (OMT). Grounded in medical science, it looks at how your body moves, compensates and carries tension. OMT helps identify areas where muscles, joints, fascia or the nervous system are under strain resulting in pain or discomfort.
In a Move to Thrive session, he uses precise, gentle hands-on techniques — careful pressure, guided movement, targeted stretching — to find what's out of alignment in your body and correct it. Physician-performed hands-on care delivered in a setting designed around you.
The goal isn't to manage your symptoms. It's to find out why they're there — and fix them.
"Some approaches only treat the area that hurts. Dr. Hendrixson treats the whole person who's hurting."

ABOUT DR. HENDRIXSON
Michael Hendrixson, DO, brings the full scope of osteopathic medicine to Bridge Street Health — combining hands-on OMT care with comprehensive primary care in one practice.
THE PHYSICIAN DIFFERENCE
This isn't physical therapy. Or a massage. This is medicine.
If you have seen a physical therapist or chiropractor, OMT will feel familiar. It's hands on; designed to restore movement and help your body heal. A main difference is OMT is done by a fully licensed physician who treats the whole person. OMT treats muscles, joints, fascia and soft tissue throughout the body to address the root cause of your pain.
As a physician, Dr. Hendrixson is able to order imaging, labs, prescribe medications, and make referrals to specialists when needed. This is whole body care. Body, mind, and spirit. Guided by both medical training and a belief in the body's God-given ability to heal.
Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine complete the same medical school curriculum as MDs — plus an additional 200 hours of specialized training in the body's structure and hands-on treatment techniques.

WHAT TO EXPECT
What happens at your first visit?
1
You talk. Dr. Hendrixson listens.
Dr. Hendrixson begins every session with a real conversation — not a clipboard. He wants to understand where you hurt, how long it's been going on, what you've already tried, and what else is happening in your health picture.
2
Dr. Hendrixson assesses with his hands.
Before any treatment begins, Dr. Hendrixson uses touch to evaluate your structure — identifying areas of restriction, tension, and imbalance that may be contributing to your symptoms. This diagnostic step is the foundation of OMT.
3
You leave feeling different.
Most patients notice something in the very first session — some reduced pain, improved range of motion, a sense of ease in the body. This isn't a treatment you have to wait weeks to feel working.
4
You build a plan together.
Before you leave, Dr. Hendrixson will give you his honest assessment of how many sessions he believes you'll need and what you can realistically expect. He will also talk about simple, easy-to-remember exercises you can do at home.
