We have designed a number of services that can be added to your assessment so it’s as unique as you are.
An hour-long session with specialist physiotherapists to improve your lifestyle.
Overview
Preventicum have partnered with world-class sport and exercise medicine
specialists to offer a musculoskeletal movement screen together with
strength and conditioning coaching. The team will work with you to prevent,
diagnose, treat and manage injuries, bringing a multi-disciplinary, team based approach to your physical health management.
You should consider adding this assessment if:
• you have an existing injury
• you want to improve or start
• a new exercise regime
• you are trying to improve your lifestyle
What are the benefits?
• Helps you to prevent injury and become
injury resistant
• Improves your ability to resist injuries
• Improves and optimises your performance
in your chosen exercise
What can I expect?
This hour-long session starts with a specialist musculoskeletal
physiotherapist consultation to determine injuries, exercise history and video
gait analysis. All sessions are tailored to you and look at your lifestyle with a
clinical assessment of any injuries. Then, you will meet a strength and
conditioning coach for a full body movement screen and in-depth strength
assessment, using a mix of gym equipment, clinical tests and hand-held
strength testing.
You will leave with a management plan including any recommendations for
further treatment and a letter from your physiotherapist, detailing your
findings from the day will be included in your Preventicum report.
Musculoskeletal MRI and movement screen.
Overview
This additional service combines a one region musculoskeletal (shoulder,
knee, elbow, hip) MRI scan with our Musculoskeletal Movement Screen and
Strength & Conditioning Coaching.
Our 3T MRI scanner is equipped with dedicated MSK coils, enabling us to
obtain unparalleled imaging of the joints and long bones. MRI is the gold
standard imaging technique to detect abnormalities including meniscal,
ligament and tendon tears and subtle, bony injuries.
All studies are reported by our specialist MSK radiologist with digital access
to your images
A simple saliva test for 30 cancer genes.
Overview
All of us have a 1 in 2 lifetime risk of cancer, but some common cancers,
including breast, melanoma, pancreatic, prostate and ovarian, are known to
occur more frequently in families, passing from one generation to the next.
This is because certain genetic mutations can be inherited. Perhaps the
most commonly talked about are the BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 genes, where
mutations can indicate increased risk of developing breast, melanoma,
pancreatic, prostate and ovarian cancers. The 30-gene Pan Cancer Panel
test from Everything Genetic, examines 30 genes, which can indicate risk of
these cancers as well as uterine, colorectal (bowel) and stomach cancer.
Why should I consider having this test?
This test will give you valuable information. Knowing you have a genetic
mutation enables you to make sure you have the appropriate regular
screening and investigations. Many mutations are known to be hereditary; if
you have a mutation, there is a 50% chance that your siblings and children
will have it too.
What does the test involve?
Your Preventicum doctor will explain the process in your consultation, and
you will also have a counselling session with a consultant (usually the day
after your Preventicum assessment) so you understand this fully before
consenting for the test. It is a simple saliva test that you can do in the clinic on
the day of your assessment, or in your own home if you prefer – we do not
need a blood sample for the Cancer 30 Gene Panel. If you choose to add this
test after your health assessment, you will receive a kit in the post with clear
instructions, together with all the paperwork you need to complete.
How long does it take to get my results?
Your sample will be sent to the Everything Genetic laboratory in the USA,
where it will be analysed. Your report is usually generated within 5 weeks of
the laboratory receiving your sample.
How will I get my results?
Once your genes have been analysed, you will be sent your results by our
team at Preventicum. If there are any positive findings, you will also be
contacted by a Consultant Geneticist from Everything Genetic to discuss
these results, the implications and next steps. If the results are negative, but
you would like to discuss these further, a consultation can be arranged at no
extra charge. Discussing your results with a geneticist and Preventicum
doctor will help you to:
• understand your risks
• monitor your health
• consider your lifestyle or diet
• protect your family
