FirstLine Therapy for Vitality, Longevity and Healthy Ageing
While ageing is inevitable that does not have to mean dwindling health or vitality with advancing years. With the right diet and lifestyle it is possible to help slow down the effects of ageing and maintain functional capacity and vitality.  By using BIA assessment we can record your key physiological & biological markers of ageing. This provides us with detailed information to help plan a programme tailored to your needs to optimise your health, energy levels and reduce the risk of long term conditions.  This may include managing your weight more effectively, increasing muscle tone and fitness, supporting the nutrition and health of your body cells and other interventions.  Using BIA we will track and monitor the progress of the programme on the internal health of your body.  Click Here for our 12 week programme.

"The key to longevity is not so much living long, but living welll"

What is Bioimpedance Analysis? (BIA)
BIA is a science that was originally developed for monitoring patients after surgery in a hospital setting. In clinic we use a hand held device which is medically approved by the FDA in America. The assessment involves connecting leads to your hands and feet and passing a low voltage electric current through your body. It is quick, safe and painless and will provide an insight into aspects of your health such as how much fat and muscle you have in your body. A report of the results can be produced and as you progress through the programme graphs can be printed to monitor changes in body composition.
