A functional medicine practice in Woolston, Christchurch, run by William Bisset. The practice describes itself as blending evidence-based science, nature and functional medicine, and it says it works with the whole family rather than only adults.
Functional medicine looks at how a person's body systems interact, rather than treating one symptom or diagnosis on its own. It is a useful choice for people who want a longer conversation about their health history and lifestyle, and who want to understand the connections between symptoms.
The practice is at 8 Settlers Crescent, in Woolston, a few minutes from the Heathcote River and the city's south-east suburbs. Families in the area who want an integrative approach to health with an evidence-based framing will find it here.
Our pick in Woolston for a family looking for a functional medicine practitioner with a clear, evidence-based approach.
