Body Therapeutics had a great time at the Healthy Living Expo at the DCU Center this past weekend, and the event was a huge success! Jennifer Caron and Dr. Barry were both on site answering questions about holistic medicine and how acupuncture, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic and therapeutic massage all work really well together!
If you are like most people, starting a new weight loss or exercise program can be somewhat daunting. You put pressure on yourself to be perfect at it 100% of the time.
