Quotes
One-size-fits-all approach that is often seen in traditional medicine is not how it works, and it's definitely not how it works these days
The science of brain plasticity and the brain's ability to change and adapt is huge, but people don't often talk about it.
The fact that we can change the brain is absolutely true. I've seen it firsthand with my son.
We combine functional neurology, movement, massage, and many different aspects in one treatment.
Having regular treatment with us, we have sustainable improvement.
