Functional testing
ABOUT FUNCTIONAL TESTING
Functional Medicine looks to establish the root cause of symptoms, helping to explain why those symptoms exist, or why a patient has a particular condition.
FUNCTIONAL TESTING SEEKS TO IDENTIFY:
Why an individual is suffering from a problem in the first place?
Why and how function has been lost?
What can be done to restore function?
Functional Medicine practitioners look at the interactions among genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic diseases.
Dr Holland (Chinese Medicine Practitioner) uses the Functional Medicine model to address underlying causes of health conditions and disease by embracing a proactive, investigative approach towards the care of her patients. Functional tests enable Dr Holland to identify what the problem is and why it exists. Treatment of the root causes of the problem can then proceed through an engaging patient-practitioner therapeutic partnership.
