~How Manual Therapy Works~

 

    Manual therapy is founded on the premise that the body is an organism made up of many interdependent systems and parts, each of which must be in balance for overall good health.  Throughout our bodies there are lines of tension, caused by stress, disease, injury and trauma.  We adapt to these lines and develop compensation patterns to maintain normal function.
