A hands on therapy, Osteopathy works in alignment with your bodies own innate healing mechanism to restore health and regain tissue balance. In our fast paced world, sometimes a health- reset is needed to feel like ourselves again.
As an Osteopathic Practitioner Trisha respects the contribution of mind, body and spirit to health.

More about Osteopathy?
- In the 1860's medical doctor, husband and father, Dr. Andrew Taylor Still faced great personal crisis. He lost his wife due to childbirth complications and three children to spinal meningitis. Not long after, the daughter born to his second wife, died of pneumonia.

He began to explore the structural relationships of bones, muscles, and organs in both animal and human skeletons. He became convinced that most diseases could be alleviated or cured without drugs. The key was to find and correct anatomical deviations that interfered with the free flow of blood and "nerve force" in the body.
