Our story

WHO WE ARE

The trainers and instructors are here to provide cutting-edge, clinical tested and practical information on how to apply frequencies and energy medicine in clinical practice. Our instructors are all active practitioners facing tough clinical cases that have not typically responded well to allopathic medicine. We bring to you practical, easy to understand methods for learning frequency and energy medicine modalities.

Our classes are fun, engaging, and comprehensive in the safest and most effective ways to implement microcurrent frequencies and energy medicine into your practice. We are dedicated to supporting practitioners who are yearning for more education and innovative ways to support their patients in their quest to alleviate pain and suffering, while promoting optimal and vibrant health.

Our mission is to bring energy medicine to licensed practitioners in order to serve the public with the highest level of knowledge, integrity, passion and desire for individuals that want to take their health care back.

Mike Anders, OTR/L, MS

Welcome to my world, a world of whole body revitalization! I’m Mike Anders, the proud owner and operator behind Core Health Strategies. Built on the foundation of a holistic, multi-faceted approach, Core Health Strategies is a unique clinic dedicated to nurturing wellness from within the body. I have been navigating the exciting field of occupational therapy since 1992, deeply invested in helping individuals maximize their healthcare objectives. My clinic deploys a wide array of therapeutic tools and techniques, each intentionally designed to improve your health standing.

My passion for growth led to my certification in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) in 2009, opening a new chapter in my professional journey. I was equally honored to present four case studies at the prestigious FSM International Symposium in 2009 and 2013. These intricate studies focused on exploring innovative treatment approaches and outcomes for Incomplete Spinal Cord Injuries harnessing the potency of FSM techniques. In 2022, I presented at the Annual Microcurrent Conference a case study about visuo-motor (eye muscle coordination) following vaccine-induced encephalopathy, and in 2023, I shared our advancements in managing Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) pain with FSM.

My quest for knowledge persists as I continue uncovering novel ways to bolster the body’s restoration of function and resolve pain. This commitment led to my latest career milestone in April 2024, when I began teaching my probe technique for retraining eye muscle coordination and how this can play a pivotal role in trauma response recovery. All these efforts are driven by my commitment to enhancing the quality of every life that walks through the doors of Core Health Strategies.
