Natural Therapy is just a "General term", not a treatment modality, it encompasses many different therapy modalities/categories, but in itself it is not a treatment modality, and there are no accredited diplomas for a "Natural Therapist"
Holistic Natural Therapy is much the same.
Holistic simply refers to the concept of seeing the physical - mental and spiritual body as one. The name Holistic means whole. Most categories within the Natural Therapy field have an underlying philosophy of treating holistically, meaning treating the whole person, not just a part of it. This is contrary to the medical system which treats symptoms and parts of a whole being in isolation.
Typical modalities which are most associated with the term Natural Therapy are :
Naturopath
Massage
Iridology
Reflexology

Pain Relief is another general category, and once again, it is not a treatment modality, rather a specialty which can encompass many different modalities.
Pain relief can be achieve by various different modalities, depending on the type of pain, and where the pain is situated.
By Example: joint pain, as in neck pain or lower back pain, etc.... may be relieved by physical means, such as Massage, Chiropractic, Acupuncture, and similar, as well as specific treatments with specific pain- relieving equipment.
On the other hand, such pain may be relieved by Hypnosis - NLP - or at the more spiritual end of treatments, by Reiki, Crystal Healing and other forms of Spiritual Healing.
Therefore the category of Pain relief or Pain relief Centres, may encompass all of these various forms of treatment, or even all of them if the practitioner is truly holistic, seeing that most ailments, including pain have a physical, mental and spiritual element.
Another category within this directory is " Health Centre ". Health Centre's are holistic in the widest sense.
Most Helath Centres have a wide variety of natural therapists working in many different modalites.
Health Centres usually have "Wellness Pragramms", which introduce the client to a truely wholistc way of treatment. Lifestyle Coaches are often part of a Wellness or Health Centre, and so are Nutritionists.
