This information evening is designed for people who may suffer from these or similar symptoms. There are many things that can be done to effectively eliminate such problems that do not involve drugs or surgery.

Both presenters are experienced clinicians who deal daily with these types of problems and often work together in order to achieve the best possible result for their patients.
Presenters
David Wadsworth is a physiotherapist with a special interest in treating chronic problems including digestive disorders. He has studied extensively in Australia & overseas and now offers a range of techniques for treating such complaints. He will talk about the manual therapy approach to digestive disturbances & in particular how digestive problems often create chronic referred pain that feels just like back pain, hip pain, neck pain, headaches or shoulder pain. He will give some real life examples of such conditions & how they are treated using a gentle hands-on approach.
Anthony Power is a clinical nutritionist with special interests in the link between digestion and concerns such as inflammatory bowel disease, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic joint and skin conditions. Anthony will focus on the importance of optimal digestion and will explain how easily things can go wrong. He will also highlight the importance of some foods, supplements and testing procedures that can pinpoint any problems. He is a specialist in the identification and management of food intolerances.
Each talk is expected to last 15 minutes with plenty of time for questions. Both speakers will be available after the presentation to answer questions.
