Naturopathy in St Austell
Naturopathy is a form of medicine that is a derivative of the medicine practised by the early physicians. The essence of it is the use of natural remedies – massage & manipulative techniques (MSK Therapy), hydrotherapy, natural essences & herbs etc. It is based on the concept that the body has the power to heal itself – but periodically needs a little help.
…I can honestly say if it wasn’t for the knowledge and care Michael has, there is no way I could carry on the way I do.
Having been in the National Archery Team for 10 years I was exposed to a number of top physio’s and can honestly say you are better than any other one I have come across.
It is refreshing to visit a medical professional and receive plain and precise information and actually receive the treatment you need immediately.
The sign of a true healthcare professional is when they put the patient welfare at as their top priority, do not try and profit from their patient’s condition and don’t make false promises as to what they can achieve for their patients. Michael exceeded in each.
I would have no hesitation in recommending you and your services as an Musculoskeletal Therapist and Doctor of Chinese Medicine to anyone that needed assistance with muscle or bone problems.
I simply cannot praise you enough. You are certainly at the top of your profession. You are worth every penny of your fees.
As a fully qualified Musculoskeletal Therapist Michael’s medical knowledge is excellent and this is accompanied by a reassuring ‘bedside manner’ which instils condidence in his abilities.
The main differences between modern medicine – the use of pharmacology (capsules, tablets & pills) which frequently have strong side effects – and Naturopathy where the action of the natural remedies, although they can be strong, largely do not have the same side effects.
Also modern medicine gives the power of healing to the doctor “Take these pills and you will be well”. Where as the Naturopath is a guide who provides the tools to help the patient take the necessary actions to induce the healing process.
Naturopathy is an holistic approach and recognises there are 3 components to the healing process, called the ‘Naturopathic Triad’. 1) Body, 2) Mind, 3) Spirit. All 3 aspects must be functioning in concert to lead to good health and the feeling of well being. If there is an imbalance it can lead to feeling unwell, sickness and the need for treatment.
In the case of the Body, this could be massage or MSK Therapy, the Mind reduction of stresses – calmness, relaxation, the Spirit meditation. In each instance the patient is a participant in the process.
