Therapies

There are many different therapies available to help treat diseases or disorders that might affect people. They can be remedial, rehabilitating or designed to cure. Some, such as speech therapy or occupational therapy, are practiced throughout the health service for instance, whilst others, such as acupuncture, are only slowly being recognised as beneficial for a whole range of ailments.
