Alternative Therapy
Support for persistent conditions when conventional options haven't helped. Evidence-based holistic care with personalised treatment plans.
What is Alternative Therapy?
Alternative therapy provides targeted support for persistent health conditions when conventional treatments have reached their limits.
Our AHPRA-accredited clinicians combine evidence-based holistic protocols with mainstream medical knowledge, creating integrated treatment plans that address both symptoms and underlying factors.
This approach works best for patients who've completed standard treatment pathways but continue experiencing symptoms. Our practitioners recognise that living with unresolved symptoms affects every aspect of your life. While we maintain professional objectivity in assessment and treatment, we also make space for your experience: listening carefully to symptom patterns conventional appointments might overlook, and adapting protocols as your needs evolve.
Who it's for
Alternative therapy is designed for adults 18+ with long-standing conditions (3+ months) who have tried conventional treatments without adequate relief and wish to explore evidence-based holistic alternatives.

A referral is ideal but not necessary, however if your health records are incomplete, a Health Summary will be required.
