COMBINING CBT WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY

A guiding principle of Fusion Therapeutics is to provide both CBT and physical interventions to overcome the most difficult of disorders.

Therapists at Fusion Therapeutics have extensive experience and knowledge of combining CBT interventions whilst also addressing physical health needs. This can mean that the client is provided with a tailor made physical health care programme in conjunction with CBT.

WE CAN HELP WITH…

Fusion Therapeutics has worked with clients with long term conditions including:

People living with cardiovascular problems, in particular heart disease often experience depression and anxiety. CBT can be used to help individuals address these issues and be able to manage their condition and live life to the full.

Respiratory conditions

Respiratory diseases such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are commonly associated with anxiety. CBT has been proven to improve individuals’ quality of life when addressing anxiety states.

Diabetes

This increasingly common disorder can often lead to cardiovascular disease with individuals wanting to understand how they can adapt their own behaviours and lifestyle choices. CBT can help individual’s manage their condition and make educated choices in relation to lifestyle, behaviours and perception of their illness.
