Your appointment
The minute you walk into our calm, beautifully appointed Sydney office, you'll realise it's not your regular docotor's visit.
Firstly, there's no waiting. You'll be greeted and ushered into a private change room where you can shower and slip into something exercise appropriate!
Next, you'll see our exercise physiologist, and he will take all your physiological measurements including your various blood pressure and heart rate measurements, your height and weight, body mass index, waist/hip ratio and so on.
If you've requested blood tests, you might have blood taken for analysis at this time.
Now it's time to see Dr Laura Pearce. You'll find her friendly and easy to talk to. She has had plenty of experience working with busy people who have stressful jobs - and many were less fit than you! The type of discussion you'll have with Laura will include your personal medical history, family history and lifestyle review.
Remember, whether you're seeing Optimal Health as an individual, or part of a corporate program, all your health and personal details and your discussion with the doctor are completely confidential.
Next you'll have an interesting and even fun fitness assessment. It involves a short run or walk on a treadmill, assessment of your flexibility and abdominal stre
ngth.
Afterwards, you can shower and change.
You'll receive a comprehensive printed report and the doctor will alert you to any potential health risks that have become apparent.
Perhaps you'd like some help setting goals for maintaining or increasing your fitness. We are happy to help you work out a program that's perfectly tailored to your needs.
