Optimal Health Assessment - Patient Preparation Guidelines
Pre-Appointment Preparation Guidelines
Treatment is only available after we have received your e-signed Informed Consent.
Please read these Preparation Guidelines carefully in conjunction with the Treatment Information Guide to ensure that we can maximise the efficacy of your treatment.
Please note women should not be assessed during the first or second day of their menstrual period as this affects the readings. Please try and book accordingly. If you are unexpectedly on day one or two we can still assess but will need to take that into account so please advise on the day.
