Michael Vincent
Michael comes from a New Zealand dairy farming background. After working long hours milking cows and contracting Michael developed some of his own back problems. He was impressed by the way osteopaths analysed and treated his injuries, and also focused on long term prevention and management. He was so impressed he decided to complete the five-year osteopathic programme at Unitec in Auckland. He is very pleased to join the team at Wilson Osteopathy and is looking forward to being part of a successful osteopathic practice. Michael stays fit with cycling, gym training and Pilates, and for relaxation enjoys 4 wheel driving and music. He is looking forward to experiencing the local café culture and welcomes recommendations!
