How we use evidence
We use research to inform clinical decisions — alongside professional training, client preferences, and careful attention to safety.
- Evidence-informed — we consider the quality of studies and what they actually measured.
- Individualised — your goals, history, and context shape the plan.
- Collaborative — we’ll encourage you to keep your GP involved where appropriate.
- Transparent — we avoid exaggerated claims; outcomes vary.
