Complementary Therapies

Unlike conventional medicine, the holistic approach seeks to treat the person as a whole, looking at al the aspects of their lives, lifestyle, diet, occupation and emotions, rather than just looking at, and treating the symptoms of the current illness. A great number of today’s illnesses come about as a result of the stress and tension in the lives we lead these days. Following illnesses, stress, injury or disease, the body will very often be left in a state of imbalance, with the vital energy pathways blocked and this prevents the body and all its individual systems from functioning effectively.

Complementary therapies can help to restore the body’s natural equilibrium and balance and when the body is relaxed and in balance it can cope with the everyday stresses and strains of life much more effectively. They can boost the immune system, help eliminate toxins, help relieve pain, improve circulation, improve sleep patterns, increase energy levels, induce deep relaxation, reduce stress and tension and restore balance to body systems.

 Complementary therapies can be used to target a specific physical or emotional problem, or as a preventative measure or purely for relaxation.
