what is orthopedic bodywork?

Orthopedic Bodywork is a comprehensive treatment for muscles, tendons, ligaments, fascia, nerves, and connective tissues to relieve pain, restore normal joint function, improve posture, balance, comfort and range of movement.

Precise and extremely effective, it speeds recovery from accidents and most painful musculoskeletal conditions, including whiplash, tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome, low back pain, TMJ dysfunction, scoliosis, rotator cuff injuries and �frozen shoulders�, thoracic outlet syndrome, knee problems, plantar fasciitis, and most other strains and sprains. Symptoms of arthritis can be relieved as well, as the position and function of the joints improve.
