WHAT IS FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE?
Functional Medicine is a unique individualised systems-based model, it combines science, scientific evidence and clinical insight to enable doctors and practitioners to address a client’s underlying causes of symptoms in order to encourage optimal health and wellbeing. It is the medicine of ‘why’, focusing on the roots of disease rather than purely symptom management.
We will look at a client’s genetic, biochemical and lifestyle factors to create personalised treatment plans. brings the art of medicine and the whole-person approach back into the therapeutic relationship between practitioner and client.
