Therapies

The "Therapies" Section of this website is for general information only.
Most pages include an introduction to the therapy, photographs, and sources of further information.

In many cases, these pages have been written by qualified practitioners of the treatments described. Nevertheless, visitors are strongly advised to consult a qualified practitioner in person concerning the suitability of treatments for their particular case.

Finding Practitioners in your Area:

Personal recommendation is a great way to find a therapist if you are willing to ask friends, family, colleagues or others for their suggestions. Alternatively, associations that govern therapies are often willing to put members of the general public in contact with qualified practitioners in their area.

In the cases of most of the therapies listed in these pages there are one or more Associations that :

		Regulate and approve the training of practitioners;
		Offer appropriate insurance for fully qualified practitioners;
		Represent the interests of the therapy and its users to government agencies and others, and
		Make information about their members available to the general public.

Where possible we have included links to these organisations at the bottom of the page about the therapy.

When arranging treatments always, check that your therapist is qualified and insured to provide the therapy you will receive from him or her.

Finding Training Courses:

Again, ask for recommendations if you can. For example, if you are interested in studying a therapy because of benefits you have received from it, why not ask your therapist for his/her suggestions about local training courses ?

Where possible links to organisations that offer training in the therapies described are also included at the bottom of the relevant pages.
