These methods of treatment can be used in any order depending on your client’s particular needs. Many of the techniques can be applied to other body parts. Be flexible and creative and allow yourself to listen with your hands. I hope you will integrate these techniques into your existing practice and find them valuable in your quest to help your clients. Please feel free to contact me anytime if I can be of help. Wishing you a long, healthy and successful practice!
