History
Established in 1992.
I made a decision early in my career to focus my chiropractic background in a rare and unique way – by addressing muscles.
In short, this lead to witnessing more and more evidence that the age-old techniques of massage from various cultures are actually a superior preventive and treatment for a large majority of musculo-skeletal conditions. My personal theory is that this works by providing increased blood flow as well as draining acids and destructive compounds from the body’s tissues. The Chinese might explain it a different way, and in India, even differently. But they have used it for over 5000 years for a good reason – it works.
The bottom line… massage is far beyond the perception of a fluffy feel-good extravagance – it is treatment, prevention, and conditioning – a perfect combination.
