Can the therapist diagnose medical conditions, like IBS, enteritis or cancer?
The therapist can identify strengths and weaknesses in your systems – respiratory, digestive, excretory, endocrine or reproductive. If you have concerns about any of those you will need to see a medical practitioner, who would be able to take tests and establish a medical diagnosis. For example, if the therapist has identified weaknesses in the small intestine, and you suffer from unexplained symptoms – heaviness after a meal, reflux, nausea, then you should really put two and two together and see a gastroenterologist. On the other hand, you should also listen to your therapist’s suggestions about the possible connection between your symptoms and your diet or stress levels, and implement the lifestyle changes that the therapist may recommend.
