We can teach a partner simple, safe and effective stretching and massage techniques which can be done with you at home to speed the healing process and maintain optimum health for a lifetime.

We consult with medical physicians and other health professionals to bring you the most beneficial combination of treatments possible. Acupuncture, naturopathy, allopathic medicine occupational therapy and other health services may be arranged when desired.
