Meet Our Naturopaths
Naturopathy and Remedial Massage
Naturopaths are specially trained natural health practitioners who assist patients to naturally correct imbalances, illness or disease in various body areas. Sometimes these conditions are easily corrected, but when patients have felt unwell for a long time, it requires commitment and patience to “unpack” many years of ill health. This often requires a variety of body systems to be treated, carefully working towards improvements.
Naturopaths do not prescribe or take patients off pharmaceutical medications. Rather they have an understanding of how nutrition and biochemistry of nutrition affects the body and can lead to disease if not recognized or addressed. A Naturopath may prescribe both nutritional and herbal medicines, emotional remedies, and offer supportive health and lifestyle strategies for your individual situation.
Remedial massage is a therapeutic approach focused on treating muscle pain, injuries, and postural issues. It involves a series of specific techniques aimed at locating and repairing areas of the body that are causing discomfort or dysfunction, usually through deeper, targeted massage methods. Therapists performing remedial massage have specialized training to understand muscle anatomy and can use a mix of gentle and firm pressure to work on problematic areas.
