INNER HEALTH SCREENING

INNOVATIVE APPROACH TO A HEALTHIER LIFE

Coronary Heart Disease remains the single largest cause of death in the UK today with 330,000 having a heart attack each year and 2,000,000 having Angina. With nearly 2 million people in the UK diagnosed with diabetes and an estimated 1 million people not yet diagnosed, diabetes can cause complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, blindness and amputation. Both of these diseases are silent killers unless we keep an eye on our own health and take responsibility for ourselves and loved ones. The assessment of apparently healthy people enables risks to be identified and re-assurance provided for those with little risk. Prevention is the key to a longer life and coupled with advice on exercise, activity and diet you can reduce your own chances of contracting these silent killers.

Inner Health Screening is a new, innovative service that provides simple health screening for those who don't have time to visit their doctor or have access to these diagnostic facilities. Specialising in simple blood tests such as Cholesterol, Glucose, Triglycerides and Full Blood Lipid tests, the service can highlight whether you are at risk from Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or Diabetes, which are the two main health concerns affecting the population at present. Couple this with instant results and the health report that is provided at the end of the health screening appointment and it's a service that's really worth its weight in gold.

Results are explained and this information can be used as a referral tool to take to a doctor if needed or for the individual’s records. Information on lifestyle changes and activity advice is provided as part of the package to help improve health. All tests include a blood pressure screening as part of the package.

Other services include Body composition testing via a method known as bioelectrical impedance ensuring accuracy and measurement of many variables such as Body Mass Index, Body Water, Lean Body Mass, Resting Metabolic Rate and Estimated Average Energy Requirements, which help when dieting and during weight loss programmes. They also do lung function testing, exercise prescription and personal training sessions tailored to the individual’s needs.

The fact that this service is mobile and can visit the office or home or fitness centre means it is available to anybody at any time. It makes screening for employees, family or friends very simple and efficient.

Prices are extremely competitive and the technology being used is the same as in the laboratories. Some of these services won’t be found in Health Clubs even though a total health screen before starting an exercise regimen is a great way to monitor individual progress and tailor a correct work out programme.
