The philosophy that Greg brings to the therapy sessions is one of humility. The goal, ultimate aim, and focus of the sessions is achieve/maintain Function and Comfort – to whatever degree the client has as a goal.

The approach is also one of concern for the total body and the total healing. A blending of western and eastern philosophies. Utilizing manipulation of muscle and tissue, as well as channeling of energy, "Chi", the use of acupressure, and essential oils are all employed.
