Naprapathy is a 100 year old system of evaluation based on sensing imbalances in the connective tissue, which actually makes up most of your body.  We work within the model that your body is self healing when provided an optimal environment.  By gently releasing spasmed connective tissue the body's physical and energetic flow patterns are able to restore themselves.  By balancing your body's postural and energetic dysfunctions your body's own  inate ability to heal can once again flow.  When we are stressed, whether it is caused by a physical, emotional or mental condition,  we carry this stress in our muscles. This stress tightens our muscles, pulling our physical structures  out of alignment.  The longer we function from this  state of "alarm" the longer this tension decreases the natural flow of energy. This is the begining of dis-ease.  By releasing contracted muscle tissue and restoring the natural flow of energy, balance is restored, allowing the body to perform at optimal levels.
