Lifestyle Assessment
Do you need help balancing your lifestyle? We support Dr Chatterjee’s ‘4 Pillars of Good Health’:
- Eat well
- Move well
- Sleep well
- Relax well
Our lifestyle assessment will look at these 4 areas of your life and personalise any advice, taking into account your specific goals and current health status.
Sports Science & Fitness Testing
This is a new service that has been developed in partnership with the University of Suffolk and the Sports Science Hub. It includes a physiological assessment, full test analysis with a report and personalised advice on a training plan that uses your identified heart rate training zones to guide performance improvement.
Pre-Event and/or Exercise Participation Medical Assessment including a Focus on ‘Heart Health & Wellness”
Increasingly, events require medical certification from an approved medical clinician.
This is a new service currently being developed together with our local Sports Doctors and specialists in Cardiology to provide the best advice available. It includes, where appropriate, electrocardiograph and echocardiography and, if necessary, more detailed imaging and testing.
Concussion Assessment & Management
Concussion usually presents suddenly following a collision and/or blow to the head. Symptoms more often than not resolve relatively quickly provided appropriate rest is taken. It can, on occasion, cause more prolonged symptoms that interfere with work and/or normal daily activities. The concussion service offers rapid access to our experienced team of clinicians, including Physiotherapists, Sports Therapists and Doctors including specialists in neurology, if required. The service caters for adults and children 16 years and over.
For further information on any of these services, please contact the clinic on 01473 622698
