Advanced Functional Medicine & Bloodwork Analysis for Optimal Health and Performance
At Cornwall Physio, we combine cutting-edge functional medicine with advanced physiotherapy to address the root causes of pain, fatigue, and performance limitations. Our Performance Health programmes offer a science-backed approach to optimising your health through comprehensive bloodwork analysis and personalised protocols.
why traditional approaches Often Fall Short
Most health professionals only scratch the surface. They treat symptoms without addressing the root causes of your fatigue, inflammation, or performance plateaus. Standard blood tests might show you’re “within range,” but that doesn’t mean you’re functioning optimally.
“After years of being told my bloodwork was ‘normal’ despite chronic fatigue and joint pain, the Performance Health analysis identified specific inflammatory markers and nutrient deficiencies that were holding me back. Six weeks into my personalised protocol, I feel better than I have in decades.” — Emma, 42

The Science Behind Functional Medicine
Functional medicine addresses the underlying causes of disease using a systems-oriented approach. Rather than simply treating symptoms, we look at the complex interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that influence long-term health.
Our approach is particularly effective for:
- Chronic Fatigue: Identifying hidden energy drains like subclinical thyroid issues, mitochondrial dysfunction, or nutrient deficiencies
- Persistent Pain: Addressing inflammatory pathways, immune dysregulation, and metabolic factors that contribute to pain
- Hormonal Imbalances: Detecting subtle disruptions in hormone production, metabolism, and feedback loops
- Gut Health Issues: Uncovering digestive dysfunctions that impact overall health and performance
- Autoimmune Tendencies: Identifying early markers of immune dysregulation before full-blown autoimmunity develops.
Performance Limitations: Resolving cognitive fog, inadequate exercise recovery, and suboptimal energy production that prevent you from feeling and performing at your best

FAQ's
Standard blood tests typically only flag values that fall outside the “normal” reference range—which is based on population averages, not optimal health. Our functional analysis looks at optimal ranges, patterns between markers, and subclinical imbalances that conventional testing misses.
No, our Performance Health programmes are fully online and available to anyone in the World! whether or not you’re currently receiving physiotherapy treatment at our clinic. However, many clients find that combining functional medicine with targeted physiotherapy yields the best results for pain and performance issues.
Most clients begin noticing improvements within 2-4 weeks of implementing their protocols, with significant changes typically occurring within 8-12 weeks. However, the timeline varies depending on your specific health challenges and how consistently you implement the recommendations.
If you’ve had a comprehensive panel of bloodwork done within the last 3 months, we may be able to use those results for your analysis. Please contact us to discuss your specific situation.
Our Performance Health programmes often uncover underlying metabolic, inflammatory, or nutritional factors that may be contributing to pain or limiting recovery from injury. Addressing these factors can significantly enhance the effectiveness of hands-on physiotherapy treatment.
