Osteopath using hands-on and regenerative therapies to keep active bodies in motion

Hi, I’m Dr Mike, a double board-certified general surgeon and lifestyle medicine physician with certification in shockwave therapy. I've shifted from general surgery to lifestyle medicine and apply osteopathic principles to help motivated individuals stay motivated and stay or get active. I’m passionate about sports and regenerative medicine because I personally want to be able to move and function at a high level well into my older years. Over my life, I’ve played football, wrestled, threw shotput and javelin, soccer, baseball, deck hockey, golfed, and I work to stay fit with a combination of weight training, yoga, stretch, and jogging. My goal at CT Sports Recovery is to keep athletes of all ages able to participate in their chosen activity in full capacity and, if they are injured, get them back to play as fast as possible. We utilize realignment, dry needling, shockwave therapy, magnet therapy, PRP injections. I’ve also added hormone and peptide therapy to our clinic. I provide hormone therapy through Marek Health where I’ve treated thousands of patients with hormone replacement and peptide therapy. I mix my experience with evidence-based therapies and apply that so my patients can be the best athlete they can be!

John Hasson

his is the story of [John Hasson], a life shaped by unexpected turns, profound family dynamics, and an unyielding quest for understanding. From the humble beginnings in Beaumont, Texas, to the vibrant community of Sugarland, his early years were a tapestry woven with threads of intellectual curiosity, social challenges, and a unique perspective on faith and belonging. This narrative, compiled for his beloved mother-in-law Marcie, and for anyone else who wishes to understand the journey, delves into the formative experiences that forged the man he is today. It's a testament to the quiet strength found in unexpected places, the enduring impact of family, and the continuous process of self-discovery.

Chapter 1: Beaumont Beginnings - Scarcity and Early Lessons

My earliest memories are not of idyllic childhood bliss, but of a stark reality, painted in the muted tones of necessity. We were living in Beaumont, Texas, and I couldn't have been older than eight – perhaps kindergarten, first, or second grade. The details of the house itself are hazy, but the feeling of that particular day remains vivid. It was just my mother and me, moving through the rooms with a singular purpose: to find every scrap of metal we could.

I remember the thrill of discovery, unearthing an old, heavy can – evaporated milk, I think, long expired. Even then, a nascent understanding of weight and value sparked within me. I knew, instinctively, that this heavy can might trick the machine, might yield more than its true worth. My mother, I could tell, shared this unspoken knowledge. Neither of us said a word, but a silent complicity passed between us. It was my first glimpse into a world where rules could be bent, where a slight dishonesty might be a means to an end.

We gathered our metallic bounty and drove to a large parking lot, where a small, unassuming machine awaited. We fed it the cans, one by one, watching it weigh and scan, then dispense pennies and dollars. The haul was significant, far more than we'd anticipated, thanks in part to my heavy finds. That extra money, I understood, meant more groceries. It meant milk.
