Body Composition
Postural Analysis
TCM Diagnosis
Laboratory Tests
This Body Composition Analysis uses bio-electrical impedance to analyze your weight, visceral fat, fat mass, lean muscle mass and percentages of bone, fat, water and muscle. It is a quick and painless test and is an insightful assessment tool for anyone wishing to understand their body condition prior to making changes. As an assessment tool it can tell you your metabolic rate, how much body fat and lean muscle mass you have and track changes over time. For those aiming for sustained weight loss or peak performance tracking your lean muscle mass percentage is absolutely critical. The Body Composition Analysis is a far healthier way to look at weight control than the scales. Your practitioner will explain the results and suggest how to make improvements. Having a good body composition has many benefits, including: decreased risk of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease, increased functional ability allowing us to move and exercise more and a good calorie burning metabolism. The best time to take your Body Composition is first thing in the morning before eating, you will be advised accordingly by the Body Conscious Team.

Conducted by our physiotherapist, this is a comprehensive assessment of how your body is moving and functioning and looks at whether there are any abnormalities or compensations occurring that may be causing pain, discomfort or poor function. The aim of this analysis is to discover which parts of the body may be out of alignment and recommend remedies to return to a healthy posture. The assessment will include both static and dynamic tests for alignment and range of movement. Treatment plans may be recommended, these will vary depending on the results of the assessment. Every time the head moves forward from neutral the body compensates by exerting many pounds of extra muscle tension (estimated to be 15-30 pounds for every inch the head moves forward). This analysis is a must for anyone with musculoskeletal pain or conditions or anyone who uses a smart phone and wants to avoid issues of poor alignment.

Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the most natural and studied forms of traditional medicine. Its ultimate aim is to maintain the body in its optimal condition. For those struggling to keep well it restores the body to a state of optimum wellbeing and assists the body in healing itself. This age-old practice uses herbs, acupuncture, acupressure massage, food therapy, and mind-body exercise to stimulate healing. The first step in a TCM health program is to have a diagnostic consultation. In this treatment your TCM doctor will diagnose your whole body through pulse and tongue reading and a series of questions. This will provide an insight into which parts of your body are strong and which need support. Further to the advice your doctor provides in the consultation, you may be recommended other TCM or healing services to bring your body back to equilibrium.
