The philosophy behind complementary medicine is that by restoring the balance of our body, mind and spirit we can achieve good health and well-being. For example, if we feel unduly uptight this may be expressed as a physical symptom such as a stomach ache, or headache, so by treating everything as one we can heal all of the problems.
During an appointment, which usually lasts at least 30 minutes, a therapist will ask detailed questions about your medical history, diet, lifestyle habits, likes and dislikes. Before visiting a therapist, you should make sure that they are properly trained, qualified, insured and registered with a professional body.
