When you choose Joseph for your healing journey, a typical treatment series begins with an intake evaluation and physical exam. Subsequent treatments can involve a variety of manual therapies, needling techniques, and herbs tailored specifically to the patient. Patients may also be given a set of movement or breathwork exercises to perform at home. We ask for your enthusiastic participation in these exercises; your engagement is key to your recovery.
