Treatments at Form Recovery and Wellness

From formrecovery.wiki, the Form Recovery and Wellness reference

Form Recovery and Wellness organises its treatments into three clinical departments: physiotherapy, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Applied Thai Traditional Medicine (ATM). It also lists recovery technology and services delivered outside the clinic.[1] The clinic states that every therapist stays with the patient for the whole session, and that every branch has a gym for combining hands-on treatment with exercise.[2] A course of treatment starts with a 30-minute consultation with a practitioner from the department of the service booked.[3] The clinic states that the head of each department reviews cases and that plans often combine departments.[4]

This page describes what each treatment involves and who provides it, as published by the clinic. Prices are on the price page.
