A sophisticated exercise test that analyses breath-by-breath how well the heart, arteries, veins and lungs are able to work together to transport oxygen to the muscles. The results provide useful information about the physiological response of the individual to exercise and identify any possible risk factors associated with one’s health status. A personalised fitness training programmes is then prescribed to improve health, fitness levels and weight loss, if necessary.

This test assesses the curvatures of the vertebral column (spine), the mobility of the joints and the weak links in the muscle chains. In time all these factors can lead to altered activity of the entire locomotive system and if left untreated as we age, it can lead to postural deformity, loss of physical performance, reduced active life and pain.

Digital infrared thermal imaging is a non-invasive, radiation-free diagnostic technique that maps the body temperature. This visualisation identifies areas of inflammation which could be associated with health conditions and physical injuries to the soft tissue.

This test accurately measures the body’s resting energy requirements in order to determine how much energy is required for maintaining essential bodily functions including breathing, circulation and consistant core temperature. It identifies metabolism substrate utilisation, guiding evaluation of nutrition therapies, dietary plans and improved nutrition for weight management.

This test assesses maximum muscular forces, symmetry, strength endurance and balance skills with high precision measuring systems. Lean muscle mass naturally diminishes with age and strength training is a key component to preserve and enhance muscle mass at any age with important applications in a person’s functional ability.

Assessment of your lung health by measuring how much air you can inhale and exhale, as well as how powerfully you can exhale. This can also help to identify the presence of airway obstructions. Lung function typically decreases with age due to physical inactivity and a reduction in elasticity of the rib cage.
