About the Clinic philosophy
​
It is important when choosing any health provider, that you feel heard, respected and comfortable with their style of treatment.
At Origin all are welcome. I strongly believe in working in partnership to attain your best possible health outcome. Your best outcomes are unique to you. It may be an increase in mobility, improved posture and strength. It may be reduction or elimination of pain, returning from or support during injury, and many other unique situations
