Naturopathic consultations & treatment
Initial naturopathic consults assess a history of your, or your child’s presenting complaint, along with other areas of health such as past medical history, medication use, diet, and lifestyle. A physical assessment of relevant body systems associated with your or your child’s complaint is included, and Integrative & functional pathology testing through Nutripath & Laverty pathology services may be recommended. Naturopathic treatment protocols are individualised for each patient, and may include the use of herbal medicine, nutrition, nutritional supplementation, and lifestyle recommendations.
Follow up consultations are needed accordingly to assess progress and improvement to health, and to review your treatment plan. Duration of treatment will always be communicated and explained.

Remedial massage
Initial remedial massage consultations assess a history of your presenting complaint, along with a physical assessment of posture, symmetry, & screening motions to asses pain, stiffness, and range of motion. Key areas of treatment of the musculoskeletal system are identified. Remedial massage techniques are used to relieve muscle tension & discomfort, stimulate circulation & lymphatic movement, and improve suppleness. Remedial massage is a beneficial modality for musculoskeletal conditions such as general muscle tension & mechanical strain, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, headaches, and to relieve stress.
