Spinal misalignment issues can create Cranial Tension, Headaches, Nerve Impingement of arms & legs (Sciatica) tight contracted Muscles which can trigger off RSI injuries (Repetitive Strain Injuries) and Muscular Cramps and Spasms.

Apart from various massage techniques he incorporates the use of MET, ‘Muscle Energy Technique’. This is a technique for stretching tight contracted muscles.
