Complementary therapies can be effective for some people and for certain conditions, but their effectiveness can vary widely and depends on a number of factors. For some people, these therapies can help manage symptoms, reduce stress, improve quality of life, and enhance the effectiveness of conventional treatments. However, it's important to note that while some complementary therapies have been well-studied and found to be effective for certain conditions, others have not.

For example, Mind-body interventions like meditation, yoga, and tai chi have been shown to help reduce stress, anxiety, and improve overall well-being. Some evidence suggests that they can also help manage symptoms and improve quality of life in people with chronic illnesses. And Massage therapy has been shown to help reduce muscle tension and pain and promote relaxation. Some studies also suggest that it can help reduce anxiety and improve quality of life in people with certain conditions.

Remember, it's crucial to discuss with your healthcare provider before starting any complementary therapy, especially if you have a pre-existing condition or are taking other medications. These therapies should be seen as a complement to, not a replacement for, conventional medical treatment.

In general terms if you are looking for relief from a physical condition such as muscle tension, muscle stiffness we recommend Massage Therapy, If you are looking for relief from headaches, migraines, stress, improved sleep and enhanced relaxation we recommend Vibrational Therapies, however because we take a holistic approach the long term treatment plan will be unique to each individual client and may require a mix of physical treatment options such as Massage Therapy and energetic treatment options such as Vibrational Therapies. We are happy to to discuss your requirements and offer our advice on which treatment option would be best and most suitable for you and your expectations.

A contra-indication is an existing medical condition or illness that could be made worse by treatment, or be a possible cause of cross-infection and contamination. As a result, the treatment may not be possible at all or it may be adapted and special precautions taken. In some cases, it may be necessary for the therapist to seek professional medical advice and a GP referral may be required. This is why we carry out a thorough consultation with every new client to establish if an contra-indications exist and enable us to determine the best course of action.

You will be asked to complete a thorough consultation prior to your appointment to determine exactly what your expectations from treatment are and what areas we need to address in your treatment plan. We will discuss the findings with you and together we will create a short, medium and long term treatment plan. You will not have to undress unless your appointment is for Massage Therapy and even then we respect your modesty, covering you with blankets or towels on those areas not being treated, however you will be asked to remove shoes, jewellery, belts and ties to ensure your comfort throughout the treatment. Please come wearing loose, comfortable and warm clothing when attending appointments with us.
