Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a safe, recognised manual therapy for both diagnosis and treatment of primarily musculoskeletal conditions which takes the whole person's health into account. It aims to improve your general health as well as provide relief for specific conditions.
During your first consultation, Fiona will take a full case history of both your medical health and current symptoms.

Naturopathy
Naturopathy is a multi-disciplinary approach to healthcare that recognises that the body's innate power to heal itself by treating the whole person and not just the symptoms. It aims to promote, restore and maintain health. It believes in the triad of health which describes the connection and interaction between the structural, biochemical and mental/emotional components of all living beings. All treatments are tailored individually.
WHAT DOES A NATUROPATHIC CONSULTATION INVOLVE?
A Naturopathic consultation involves a full case history being taken and an analysis made of your lifestyle and environment. Treatment will involve assisting in creating an individualised diet and lifestyle to restore your health. This will include dietary advice, nutritional supplements, detoxification techniques, hydrotherapy, relaxation techniques and stress management. Fiona will combine this approach with Osteopathic treatment.
Food Intolerance Testing
A 'food allergy' is usually an acute, often severe, occasionally life-threatening reaction to food. It occurs within seconds or minutes, sometimes to the tiniest trace of food and can be picked up by measuring IgE antibodies.
It is often confused with the term 'food intolerance'. This is usually a more chronic response with symptoms often slow to develop (sometimes days) and may last for weeks. The reaction can therefore be very difficult to pick up. However it also mediates an antibody response (IgG) which can also be measured.
WHAT DOES THE TEST INVOLVE?
In order to see whether the body reacts to a certain food, a blood sample is taken. This is a simple pin prick which provides the small amount needed. This is first diluted then applied to a plate containing various food protein samples. An antibody detector solution is applied and finally the developer solution. The whole process takes about forty five minutes at which stage the results are finalised.
The test will be carried out by Fiona Robertson who has over twenty years experience in treating dietary problems.
