Michelle Forward Osteopath (Manual Practice), D.O.M.P, R.M.T

Michelle’s Osteopathic practice is centered on rehabilitation of acute and chronic conditions as well as achieving optimal health. Osteopathy treats the body as a whole with the knowledge that our bodies are inherently wanting to and able to heal themselves. Integrating everything I have learned in osteopathy school in my therapeutic sessions allows me to better treat my clients. With each session I empower clients with knowledge of their conditions and choices available to them. This is important in the mind-body connection that facilitates positive change.
