Dr. Wassim Drissi, DO
I’m a PM&R physician trained at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where I learned that the best medicine happens when you slow down, listen, and actually put your hands on the patient. I practice osteopathic manipulative medicine at every visit because I believe the body gives you the diagnosis if you’re willing to feel for it.
Before medical school, I studied biomedical engineering. That background shapes how I think about the body: as a system of interconnected structures, forces, and feedback loops. When one thing breaks down, the whole system compensates. My job is to find the root cause, not just chase the symptom.
Dr. Charles H. Mayo
I take that seriously. I teach OMM weekly, and I’m constantly learning, whether that’s new ultrasound techniques, advances in regenerative medicine, or building motion capture systems to quantify how patients move. I believe technology and hands-on medicine aren’t at odds with each other. They’re better together.
Outside the clinic, I’m an Ironman triathlete and a rock climber. I know what it feels like to push your body hard and to need it to work when it matters. That perspective is part of every treatment plan I write. I don’t just want you out of pain. I want you back on the trail, back on the wall, back doing the thing that makes your life worth living.
The Center of Movement exists because I got tired of watching patients bounce between specialists, collecting diagnoses but never getting a coherent plan. OMM, guided injections, diagnostics, metabolic health: it all belongs under one roof, with one provider who knows your whole story.
