All of nature is intelligent and orderly. Humans have been aware of it from antiquity, just as they’ve been aware of blood in the body. It’s a natural force.

I have first-hand experience with this as I was addicted to sugar and baked goods for the first half of my life. Sugars, simple carbohydrates and wheat feed the yeast and it gets overblown in the body. I was raised to be this way by my family as many of us have been. I’ve only been holistic for the last twenty years so I was out of alignment for thirty-four years. Food habits are taught and modeled. In my family, […]

The level of education. Professional Manual Therapists are trained in either Naprapathic, Osteopathic, Physical Therapy, or Sports Therapy tradition.

The soft tissue is muscle, ligament, tendon, and nerve. What feeds all of your plethora of soft tissue is the blood. Moving the blood with your skin INTACT, not cut, is ideal.
