“As we live life, we develop patterns of movement that
do not serve us
well. We compensate for injuries sustained earlier in life.
Most of the
time, we aren’t aware that we are injuring ourselves
until many years later.
It’s challenging and rewarding to fi nd the source of
pain and help the
individual regain physical health.”
