Your visit
After being welcomed to our state-of-the-art Integrated Rehabilitation Centre, our performance specialist will measure your blood pressure, height and weight before conducting the blood assessments using a painless finger-prick testing technique to measure blood lipids and glucose. These measurements are conducted using the CardioChek® found in GP clinics across the country and used as standard in the NHS.
You will then undergo body composition analysis using our state-of-the-art SOZO® analyser, one of less than five in the country. The SOZO® works by passing hundreds of low frequency impulses through your body to measure your body fat, lean mass, hydration and cell health.
The SOZO® test itself is really simple and takes just a few minutes, it’s non-invasive and only requires you to take off your shoes and socks to stand on the platform.
As well as the SOZO® the Health MOT also includes a blood test, and lipid profile which is used to tell us things like your blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and indicates your risk of diabetes and other diseases.
You will then undergo measurements of your hips and waist and grip strength before being asked some questions related to your lifestyle.
Your report will be available during the session and the practitioner will talk you through your results as the tests are conducted and you will receive an electronic report by email after the appointment.

Benefits of a Health MOT
This test provides us with a comprehensive breakdown of your health that can be used to improve physical performance, reduce risk of injury, and help to design targeted interventions to lower risk of chronic diseases
As well as all the benefits of our basic assessment the additional checks in our Health MOT will give us a measure of your risk for cardiovascular disease, stroke and other health issues, such as whether your body is showing signs you are developing diabetes, pre-diabetes or cardiovascular disease.
Our Health MOT is commonly used by individuals looking to develop a more comprehensive understanding of their current health situation and identify areas of risk in order to make informed decisions about their health care.
