OTHA Philosophy

Education
We help you understand your body and your patterns.
Inspiration
We build hope through progress and clarity.
Collaboration
Healing works best when we do it together.
Our Philosophy
+
- We are each responsible for our health and well-being.
- We don’t choose our genetics, but we can work with what we have.
- It’s not what the body looks like, it’s how it functions.
- If it works, leave it alone.
- Rehab isn’t easy. It can be tedious and boring.
- How many hours are you doing rehab? The answer is usually: not enough.
Back to Basics: Treat the PERSON, not the FILE.
Our Role
+
Our role is asking important questions: intake and assessment. We listen to complaints and also find out what is working.
- Clarify patterns, not just symptoms.
- Dispel medical myths and partial truths that keep people stuck.
- Demystify terminology around diagnosis and prognosis.
- Share options for natural, non-pharmaceutical relief.
Goal: Education, Inspiration, and Collaboration in all of our endeavors.
Want to talk through your situation and get a clear next step? We’re happy to help you build a plan that makes sense.
OTHA Philosophy
OTHA, our Tandem Therapeutic Bodywork, began in 2013, though we first met around 1990. We both chose bodywork early: touching people with intention, with the goal of making a positive change.
We’ve each experienced trauma, injuries, and surgeries. That lived experience helps us work with clients in a very real way, beyond the textbook.
