Health & Cardiac Services
Health & Cardiac Assessment
Health & Cardiac Assessment is a comprehensive, personalised evaluation designed to give you a clear picture of your cardiovascular and overall health. Whether you're preventing illness, managing a condition, recovering from a cardiac event, or simply wanting to understand your body better. This assessment is tailored to your needs, background, and goals.
People commonly book this assessment for one or more of the following reasons:
- Cardiac health: To assess heart function, monitor recovery, or investigate symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, or high blood pressure.
- Stress and resilience: To explore how your body responds to physical and emotional stress (especially if you're experiencing fatigue, burnout, or want to stay ahead of it).
- Health conditions: To check your current health status, manage long-term conditions, prepare for surgery, or follow up on previous medical tests.
We can also conduct specific cardiac testing. Including Exercise Tolerance Tests (ETT). As can be referred or recommended by your doctor or cardiologist. These are often required for insurance medicals or further specialist evaluation.
What the Assessment May Include:
Conducted by a Registered Clinical Exercise Physiologist, your tailored assessment may involve:
- A kōrero about your health, lifestyle, symptoms, and aspirations
- Review of any previous test results (e.g. blood work, ECG, imaging, specialist reports)
- Resting and ECG-monitored exercise testing (including blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation)
- Lung function, cholesterol, and glucose profiling
- Optional extras: movement analysis, skinfold testing, and/or cardio pulmonary exercise testing (CPET)*
A full report with personalised recommendations for prevention, rehabilitation, or performance will be provided after your appointment. Summary reports can be shared with your GP or specialist on request.
*Additional tests may require extra time and cost.
Our approach blends scientific best practice with mātauranga Māori. Acknowledging that true hauora includes not just physical wellbeing, but also mental, emotional, and whānau health. This assessment is your first step toward clarity, confidence, and connection wherever you are on your health journey.
Before Your Appointment
Once your booking is confirmed:
- You’ll receive a brief pre-assessment questionnaire to complete online. This helps us understand your needs, medical history, and goals so we can tailor your assessment appropriately.
- Please come prepared to exercise. Most assessments include a treadmill exercise test, and depending on your health status, this may involve working to a high intensity. Wear comfortable clothing and shoes. We do have changing rooms with showers available for your use after your appointment.

testimonial
"I came in feeling unsure about my health and left feeling empowered.” I’d been experiencing ongoing fatigue and stress, and wasn’t getting many answers elsewhere. The Health & Cardiac Assessment gave me clarity I didn’t even know I needed. The team was kind, professional, and took the time to explain everything in a way that made sense. I finally feel like I have a plan that fits me not just a generic fix."
