Our Team
Josh Bowman, Doctor of Chiropractic
​
My family and I moved to Traverse City in December 2021 after spending 13 years living and working as a chiropractor in The Netherlands, where I built up a successful team and practice and enjoyed the experience of living abroad. The decision to move to Traverse City was an easy one. We were taken away by the combination of pure Michigan nature with the down-to-earth, friendly people in the area.
​
As a family, we love spending time outdoors hiking, biking, kayaking, or gardening. But tips for new TC residents are always very welcome!
As a chiropractor with 13 years of experience in a busy practice, I have treated and helped people from all walks of life, from newborns, pregnant or postpartum mothers, and 99-year-old patients to professional athletes.
"I feel blessed with the opportunity to help people achieve improved bodily function so they can reach their maximum potential." I am still very passionate about the results that I see with chiropractic care. Making a difference in someone's life feeds my desire to continue to grow as a professional.
I look forward to being a positive impact on the Traverse City Community.

Michael Mahn, Massage Therapist
​
Michael realized the power of massage therapy after a traumatic car accident. Conventional medicine only offered drugs with many side effects without improving his quality of life. When he tried massage, it reduced his pain, lowered his anxiety, and allowed him to sleep and function. He knew he wanted to learn the skills to help others in the same way.
After growing up in Northern Ontario and the Upper Peninsula, he has since lived in Los Angeles, Ann Arbor, Tampa, and Denver before arriving in Traverse City. This father of three loves spending time with his family, especially exploring the outdoors while hiking, camping, biking, and traveling.
Miah Alpers, Office manager and Insurance biller

Miah is a Traverse City native.
She finished her bachelor's in Business Administration degree with honors in 2023 and has joined the Focus Chiropractic team. Miah is the first point of contact in the practice. She is happy to help and answer any questions you might have about insurance, chiropractic care, and the other services we offer.
Miah enjoys the outdoors, spending time with friends and family and walks with her dog Fletcher. She plays in 2 softball leagues and likes to be active.
Hilde Bowman.
​
Hilde moved to Traverse City with her family in December 2021. Born and raised in the Netherlands, she, Dr. Josh and their son Jace decided it was time for an adventure. Hilde loves being outdoors and being in nature. She enjoys good food and a glass of wine.
All good tips on a good restaurant or must-visit are welcome.
Hilde will handle some of the administrative tasks at Focus Chiropractic, she is still very closely involved in the practice in the Netherlands.
I look forward to seeing you in our practice and getting to know you!
