Dr. Michael Rees is the founder and lead chiropractor at Maverick Chiropractic in Wayzata, Minnesota. With over six years serving the community, Dr. Michael and his wife, Rosalie, opened Maverick with a clear vision — to help busy individuals and families function better, heal better, and feel better through modern, neurologically focused chiropractic care.

Dr. Michael earned his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from the University of Minnesota–Twin Cities and his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University. While at Northwestern, he served as President of both the Torque Release Technique (TRT) and Chiropractic Business Clubs, earned his Fellowship in TRT through the Holder Research Institute (HRI) under the guidance of Dr. Jay Holder — founder of the Torque Release Technique, and developed a deep passion for neurologically based chiropractic.

He later trained at Innate Chiropractic in Newburgh, New York — one of the largest family and pediatric practices in the state — under Dr. Erik Brower, gaining invaluable experience in family wellness and pediatric care.

After graduation, Dr. Michael and Rosalie returned to Wayzata — near where Rosalie grew up in Long Lake, Orono, and Plymouth — and opened Maverick Chiropractic in Colonial Square. Together, they’ve built a thriving, family-centered practice rooted in connection, community, and purpose.

Dr. Michael holds Advanced Proficiency in Torque Release Technique (TRT), Certification in Zone Technique, and Webster Technique Certification for pregnancy and pediatric care. He also integrates Craniosacral Therapy through advanced education from Lori Hendrickson and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA), along with training in Talsky Tonal Chiropractic (TTC), MC2, Koren Specific Technique (KST), and Network Spinal.

By combining these approaches, Dr. Michael delivers a precise and gentle healing experience that reconnects the brain and body, restores balance, and gets to the root cause of health concerns — allowing every person to function, heal, and live at their highest potential.

Dr. Michael and his wife Rosalie live in Wayzata with their daughter and their golden retriever, Harvey — the official Maverick office greeter.
