Lifestyle Medicine is mainstream, evidence based medical practice in the prevention, management (and even sometimes reversal) of non communicable chronic conditions and seeks the root cause of the conditions. There is a strong link between lifestyle choices (including nutrition and improving gut health) and the development of chronic conditions. Lifestyle medicine is about living a longer and healthier life. The consultation involves the routine medical history and examination, and any basic investigations if needed. This would take an average of 45 to 60 minutes and written feedback is given to the patient. For appointments contact Springs+ Drugstore Pharmacy Sliema on 21334627 / 21320878.

Osteopathy is a holistic type of manual therapy aiming at restoring good musculoskeletal function therefore helping to maintain optimal general health. It relies on the concept that the body is not the simple addition of different parts but works as a whole, with constant interaction between the different areas of the body. Therefore the area of pain may not be the origin of the issue, as the body has the ability to create compensation patterns that the osteopath is trained in decrypting. The patient’s history and context (occupation, level of fitness, stress levels, life constraints) are also always taken into account to help identify the cause and any potential maintaining factor to the current problem. Global health is achieved by having good physical and mental health. For bookings please visit https://anne-poulhies.eu1.cliniko.com/bookings
