Celebrity Chiropractor
Sues Massage Giant Therabody
For Allegedly Rubbing Him Out of His Patents

Celebrity-approved chiropractor and MoveU founder Dr. Mike Wasisin is cracking more than backs … ‘cause he’s taking legal action against Therabody for allegedly stealing his designs.
This is what we know … in the Tuesday complaint obtained by TMZ, Dr. Mike — whose clients include Antonio Browntop comedians, talk show hosts, athletes and Bollywood stars — says he shook hands with Therabody founder Dr. Jason Wersland years ago … just to have that deal thrown out.
According to the doc, Dr. Mike says he and Dr. Jason hammered out a deal all the way back in 2017, which would allow Therabody to use his two massage tip designs in exchange for compensation and being listed as an inventor on the patents.
Dr. Mike says he became aware the two patents excluded his name in 2023. To rub more dirt into the wound … Dr. Mike says this was 2 years after Dr. Jason personally assured him he would never steal his ideas.
Well … you can see for yourself. The designs Dr. Mike says are his are strikingly similar to Therabody’s massage tips.
The Thumb Attachment and Wedge Attachment were allegedly patented in late 2017 … which only names Jason, and two other people — no Mike.
Now, Dr. Mike wants his money and design credit.
He is asking for undisclosed compensatory, consequential and punitive damage … and he demands his name — and only his — appear on the patent.
He says his biggest regret is taking Dr. Jason’s word, explaining … “What makes this so disappointing is that I trusted Dr. Wersland, personally and professionally. Now, I’m calling on Therabody to do what’s right.”
It looks like it’ll be hard to rub out this knot. Stay tuned …
