We aim to fully understand you and your challenges.
We consider your entire body to determine the root cause of your concerns.
We view your body with a wholistic approach; everything is connected.
We ask the question "What's preventing your body from functioning optimally?"
We use a variety of hands on techniques to release stress and strain in your body, using a very developed sense of palpation to discern the tensions and areas in need.
We value the inter-relationships between all the systems of the body, and aim to restore balance within and between the muscles, joints, bones, nerves, vessels, connective tissues and internal organs.
Our relationship with you is important, and together we formulate a treatment plan to assist in achieving your health goals.
