[treatments]
Osteopathy is system of manual medicine that recognizes the body's innate wisdom to restore its own balance. Some techniques used are: cranial/sacral therapy and slow gentle touch that promotes the flow of cerebral spinal fluid.

Myofascial techniques, releasing restrictions in connective tissue, structural techniques, gentle, precise joint manipulations and visceral manipulation all help organs find places of balance so they can 'breathe'.

Acupuncture [Chinese and Japanese]
Acutonics [special tuning forks]
herbal medicine [loose herbs or patent formulas available]
qi gong and meditation [homework to promote balance]
diet therapy: [guidelines to maximize potential]
