The BIOME physio service
Physio for ADHD
Use movement and physical activity to help you live well with ADHD
BIOME is a neuro-inclusive physiotherapy service for people with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The BIOME approach is based on the latest evidence-based research on physical activity and ADHD. This comprehensive whole-person care moves beyond traditional medical ideas about ADHD to integrate the physical, mental, and life factors that combine in this complex (and often misunderstood) neurotype.
Physio for Everyone
Address physical health issues with a fresh perspective
The mind and body are connected, which means thoughts, feelings, and life events can affect our physical health. By understanding how your whole life may impact your physical symptoms, you can resolve long-standing physical issues and improve your overall well-being. The BIOME approach is based on the biopsychosocial model of health, which combines the biological, psychological and social factors that may be impacted on your health.
