Rick Asherson graduated with honors from the British School of Osteopathy in 1989. This training is similar to chiropractic education in the US. He was particularly impressed by the work of Dr. Andrew Taylor Still, the founder of osteopathy and Dr. William Garner Southerland, who developed osteopathy in the cranial field. As a student and later in his London practice, Rick focused on cranial osteopathy and cranio-sacral techniques to work with the subtle movements of the body. This light touch method is now more commonly known as the Cranio Sacral approach. Having worked in this area for over 20 years, he has developed his own gentle, hands-on technique, called Subtle Body Alignment.

Life is movement and the intention of Subtle Body Alignment is to optimize the expression of motion throughout the deep tissues of the body and enhance the body's own self-regulating and self-healing capabilities. By quietly "listening through the hands" to the body's subtle rhythms, patterns of restriction and misalignment can be gently released to improve overall function and well-being.

A visit to the office would start with a brief review of your medical history, followed by a physical assessment and then gentle, hands-on listening and redirecting techniques to unwind patterns of misalignment and promote deep relaxation to the body as a whole.
