I always feel that there is something more for me to discover in our understanding about how the body works and consequently how to fix it. I present myself professionally as a rational therapist with my techniques based in science and yet I have also had metaphysical experiences and therefore respect such. I studied 6 years of Medicine and 4 years of Physiotherapy and still felt there was a great need to have a much more detailed comprehensive and intricate understanding of how the body works. I began a knowledge quest over 30 years ago, which included Tai Chi (as a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine), meditation and Buddhist healing, eventually studying for 10 years with distinguished Osteopathic Physician Dr. Loren Rex (URSA Foundation – Seattle). Dr. Rex urged us to examine the science of the day in which old techniques were developed and to look forward to how that science stands up to today’s understanding. Since then I have collected and translated at least 1,000 pages of antique German and French papers in the fields of anatomy, embryology and physiology which informs my understanding of Us. I have looked forward and searched for lost threads and dead ends of such work to uncover better answers to manual therapy problems. Over the years I have accrued an amazing knowledge base of how the body functions and an intricate picture of the physiology of a client’s problem. I have also explored and refined a repertoire of tools (manual techniques) to correct dysfunction. This knowledge is not just musculo-skeletal but includes the interrelationships of all of the body systems: embryological, neurological, vascular, lymphatic, hormonal and respiratory systems.
