Unity Manual Osteopathy: Our Story
When we created Unity our goal was simple: to provide exceptional care to clients. Each person who walks through our door is unique and deserves a tailor-made plan to reach their health goals. Our job as therapists is to listen and find the root issue of problems. We then help unlock tissue to create a sense of complete unity in the body. The human body is intelligently designed to work in unison—even the smallest change can have a cascading effect, for better or for worse. We believe the practice of self care is the key that unlocks the body's innate ability to heal itself. We look forward to seeing you!
