Integrative Manual Therapy™ is a powerful technology that yields profound results in returning the human body to optimal health. With nearly two decades of successful case studies, this unique science brings deep, long-lasting results to the challenges of illness and rehabilitation and true preventative healthcare. Integrative Manual Therapy™ is the future of health-care brought to our patients today.
When one thinks of advances in medical technology, the first images that leap to mind are often of cold, expensive machines or billion-dollar research under the microscope. While such models certainly have their place, they can often be enhanced or even obviated by Integrative Manual Therapy™. This totally non-invasive, medication-free modality uses the most basic of tools -- human hands -- to support the body's innate wisdom to heal itself.

How It Works

It should actually come as no surprise that one of the most advanced technologies for achieving optimal health is truly at our “finger tips”. The human body itself is an amazing technology infinitely more advanced than the computer, television, cell phone and other pinnacles of modern science put together.

The human body, while being amazingly complex, when compared to other feats of technology such as a computer, has it quirks. It is resilient and self sufficient without our constant attention yet it is basically a lady “machine”. It doesn’t work any harder than it absolutely has to. If you need only 72 beats of your heart per minute to keep going, your body won’t throw in an extra 10 beats for good measure. That would be a waste of valuable energy. However, when illness strikes, the body has to work harder to compensate. The ability to self heal is an amazing circumstance each and every time it occurs. There are times it occurs of which we are totally unaware. Still other times, the healing process requires so much effort that many other function are shut down while homeostasis is restored. An example of this is when you have the flu.

Most health problems–whether minor or chronic–simply come down to blockages and other dysfunctions, which prevent various aspects of the body from self-healing. These might be traits that we are born with or caused by an accident. Also, the body's immune and filtering systems can get so overloaded by an environmentally challenged world that they can no longer process the build-up of toxins.

The fundamental premise of Integrative Manual Therapy™ is to locate the cause of dysfunction and reopen the body's natural lines of communication. Once this inherent flow is reestablished, the body's innate healing abilities also return to optimum levels. This non-invasive philosophy of Integrative Manual Therapy™ is a true embodiment doing something “with” the body instead of “to” the body.
