Traditional Osteopathy and IFS (Internal Family Systems) Therapy 

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS)


IFS is a type of psychotherapy that can address emotional contributors of pain and possibly disease. In the most compassionate manner it can change negative thought or emotional patterns that result in reactive behaviors, aggressive or withdrawn postures, and disease symptoms that seem to cause harm. Ask about it!

Whether you are experiencing pain or dysfunction or are searching for a non-invasive alternative treatment to improve your health I welcome you to Vital Balance Osteopathy.  Good Health is about balance.
