RMT vs Physio vs Chiro

I see many clients here at Kalola boutique and Spa. Some come in for relaxation and other for therapy to help those lingering aches and pains. Many of my clients have a physiotherapist or chiropractor in there home town. Often I am asked what the difference between the three professions are an how they differ benificially. 

Here are all three defined.

They combine their in depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability.
