George Lord, D.C. has studied a wide variety of hands-on therapies in addition to chiropractic. Over the past ten years he has studied CranioSacral Therapy with the Upledger Institute, and has taken nearly every course offered in the institute's Lymph Drainage Therapy and Visceral Manipulation curricula. He has now also added BodyTalk to his repertoire and says, "Combining BodyTalk with lymphatic and visceral work can yield amazing results. People's health problems often involve numerous interactions between body systems and emotions. BodyTalk provides a way to link anything in our bodymind to anything else; then our Innate Intelligence can find solutions even to complex problems."
