Manual Osteopathic Therapy
Manual Osteopathic Therapy is a wholistic approach to manual therapy. It focuses on the intelligence found within the systems of the body and the relationship between all the systems within the body.
CranioSacral Therapy, Visceral Manipulation, Lymph Drainage Therapy and Somatic Movement are my main modalities in a Manual Osteopathic Treatment.
