Welcome to the NIIM Integrative Health Check. We look forward to supporting you on your healthcare journey.
The NIIM Integrative Health Check has been designed in collaboration with our team of leading Integrative Medical and Allied Healthcare Practitioners, to provide you with a comprehensive assessment of your current health and overall wellbeing.
Our clinic combines the best of diagnostic excellence with an integrative and holistic approach, with a focus and evaluation on your lifestyle factors, environment, nutrition, physical activity, sleep and mental health.
An Integrative Health Check at NIIM assesses your overall health and wellbeing and looks for risk indicators in developing chronic health problems. The program has a health promotion approach and is ideally suited to people who want to prevent the onset of chronic disease and wish to improve, or maintain, their optimal health and wellbeing.
The Benefits of an Integrative Health Check
The NIIM Integrative Health Check will empower you to:
Understand your overall health status.
Make informed decisions about your health and wellbeing now and into the future.
Gain knowledge about prevention strategies to improve your health outcomes based on your individual identified risk factors.
Improve your health and wellbeing goals through realistic goal setting.
Since most diseases begin to silently develop long before the emergence of the first noticeable symptom, the NIIM Integrative Health Check holistically considers your current health status, including family medical history, dietary, lifestyle factors and mental wellbeing as well as the outcomes of your comprehensive pathology and screening tests and physical assessment.
To further individualise your health check, there is the option to tailor additional packages and tests to support your health and wellness needs. The Integrative Health Check Coordinator can give you further information regarding these options.
