Functional Pathology assesses how well – or poorly – the body’s functional pathways and body systems are working.
One of the most exciting advances in contemporary holistic practice is the ability to enhance traditional skills and knowledge with highly accurate functional pathology testing.
Unlike standard pathology testing, which seeks to detect and monitor medical abnormities or disease progression, Functional Pathology assesses how well – or poorly – the body’s functional pathways and body systems are working.
These tests investigate functional, biochemical, nutritional, metabolic and hormonal status throughout the body.
The results provide valuable information to assist the safe and effective treatment of chronic and complex conditions, optimising a restoration of health and wellbeing and reducing the likelihood of progression into frank disease.
