The FMM process employs an accurate, specific and reliable assessment and diagnostic model based upon tried and proven methods.  These  are straightforward, logical principles, such as are used by car mechanics, electricians and other  professsional manual craftspeople. The methods employed are INHERENTLY successful if for no other reason than the average car mechanic or electrician simply  HAS TO FIND the answer--his livelihood depends upon this being the case . In our work we see that so many patients do not exercise the same logical expectation as they would if taking their car to a garage. We have tested this thesis many times. Our expectation is that you , the patient , have a reasonable right to expect that we will do just what the garage mechanic would do if presented with your ailing vehicle!! We expect to search for an explanation, consider the options for action, advise you of the likely cost and give a reasonable estimate of the time scale and the outcome. We consider this to be the MINIMUM REQUIREMENT . We refer to this process as PROPER TREATMENT.

 Fmm is inherently an holistic process, oriented around causes . Our wish is to deduce the real causes and attend to these rather than simply remove the symptoms. With this in mind we know that, for many patients having previous experience of treatment , the therapist has solely concentrated upon the place where pain is felt . We know that it is very seldom where the cause originates--and it is this simple fact that enables our success rate to be so high, since we just search for the rational answer until we find it!

  Treatment regimes are explained and discussed with regular monitoring of progress. If the patient requires a modality other than one we are applying ,  then referral will be made to a homoeopath or acupuncturist or other appropriate specialist . If we consider that the patient has a genuine medical problem which only an NHS consultant would be able to fathom we will make this suggestion  If an MRI scan is needed we are able quickly to arrange this for you and have good relations with Consultant Radiologists at the hospital scanning unit..We have just sent one patient for urgent medical attention --he needed a spinal op urgently and he had already been cast off by two GP,s with pain killers!

 Patients will be introduced to accurate and appropriate methods of self-help based upon the ancient art of yoga .

Please note that fees, appointments and individual methods vary with each practitioner and that each practitioner is entirely independent in action and thought. 

FMM processes usually are effective when many other methods of treatment have failed --but remember that  FMM is not a formula.  Fmm therapists do  not employ routines which are applied to each patient as a matter of course,  which is the case with a great deal of physical therapy treatment. Each patient will be examined until the practitioner has achieved a rational view of what is wrong and this will usually lead to understanding why there is a problem. This is often overlooked because the practitioner is too keen to be seen to be doing something . We have discovered that the time spent on a rational and logical search for answers  , leads to a much better prospect of a genuine solution as well as empowering the patient to change that which is causing the problem! Many patients we receive have been  told  by others that there is no explanation for their problems--the common excuse is AGE !! We strongly believe  it is our responsibility to FIND the answer.
 We also constantly encounter the patient who has been told to STOP doing anything which could aggravate the symptoms--this has often included shopping, driving and sitting!!
