the treatment of the musculoskeletal system by palpation and manipulation.

Specific or combined techniques may help alleviate the symptoms and promote healing for respiratory, circulatory and gastrointestinal disorders. Also, those with disorders of the central nervous system such as Fibromyalgia, Parkinson’s and Motor Neurone disease may feel relief from their symptoms. Other benefits include removal of muscle waste, restored nutrition, improved circulation and promotes physical and psychological relaxation. Treatment should not be painful as this will cause tension and inhibit manipulation. It is the relaxed muscle that responds well.
