FAQS

Complementary health care encompasses a wide range of therapies that are often used alongside conventional medicine. Although not adopted into mainstream healthcare, complementary therapies are used to improve a range of physical and mental conditions.

Here at treat, we offer numerous therapies that often work by supporting the body’s natural selfhealing mechanisms such as acupuncture, pilates, yoga, massage, nutritional therapy, hypnotherapy, EFT and reiki.

Therapies such as these have the potential to greatly improve the body, mind and spirit and can provide great relief from chronic conditions such as musculoskeletal problems, multiple sclerosis and mental health problems.
