When you have pain, there is a reason.  But, when you go to the doctor he or she might not look for the reason at all.  Instead, the doctor may give you medicine to treat your symptoms.

However, your body is a whole unit.  That’s what the word “holistic” mean:  whole.  It’s also spelled wholistic.

Here’s an email I received from Gregg.  He has a good way with words.

Thanks again for this, Kathryn.  The more I learn, the more I realise
that your holistic approach is patently better than the specific
symptomatic approach taken by most health professionals.  I love its
inclusivity!  Which, once you’re aware of it, is just simple common
sense, too!

Well, it’s not just “my” holistic approach but that is what I do.  I help you look at your whole body to figure out possible causes for your pain or dysfunction.

Over the years I realized that most of us just don’t understand how bodies function.  I didn’t, either.  But education from brilliant minds in the natural pain relief field showed me how logical the body is.  How simply it functions.  How beautiful it is.

When you understand the causes of pain you can get rid of them holistically.  Naturally.

It’s simple.  Common sense.  🙂
