About Complementary Therapies

Many people find great comfort and relief from symptoms such as lower back pain through using complementary therapies, and now more than ever, it’s vital to look after our health and wellbeing.

Complementary therapies like massage and myofascial release are used alongside your usual medical care.

For many people, they are a chance to be fully heard and understood. Unlike a doctor, who only has a few minutes to listen, a complementary therapist here at our wellness centre will take time to fully explore your health and wellbeing, looking at your wider life as well as your presenting issue.

For issues such as back pain, this might involve a thorough assessment of your posture, working conditions and exploration of what has lead to your condition.

For chronic health conditions, complementary therapists look at people holistically, understanding that mind and body are connected. For some people, this may also incorporate a spiritual element, depending on your beliefs.
