A regular question I get asked is ''what's the difference between Physio, Chiro and Osteo?'
http://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2017-03-16/physiotherapy-chiropractic-osteopathy-whats-the-difference/8360154?smid=Page%3A+ABC+News-Facebook_Organic&WT.tsrc=Facebook_Organic&sf63080180=1
Physio vs chiro vs osteo: What's the difference? Without knowing too much, it can seem physios, chiros and osteos practice much the same thing. But scratch the surface and you'll found claims and counter-claims about which method is most likely to work for you.

As many of you know, I have always worked with both massage and water polo.
I've recently had an amazing opportunity to further my water polo coaching and administration aspirations and will be slowing down the massage for the short term while I find my new routine.
Please don't hesitate to schedule an appointment, I'm still here! Times just won't be as regular as they usually are.
Thanks for being so understanding and supportive!

Best work day EVER! Meet Rex. He accompanied a client who was needing treatment and was absolutely AMAZING!
Rex is a Service Dog, he is training to help people who suffer from specific medical issues.
Whether that be providing an avenue to gain more independence, or helping with physical tasks ( such as stabilising someone when walking). Rex and I are working together to help our client just in very different ways. How cool is that?!?!
