Medical integrative therapies complement the conventional medical model.They aim to improve symptom control and thus quality of life. By taking a holistic approach to a person, their life experience and their current situation, we are mindful that when the intricate web spun between body, mind, emotion and spirit is thrown out of balance – we are affected in different ways. The aim of these therapies is to identify this imbalance, then help restore a sense of equilibrium to the person as a whole.
