Wellness
Wellness means being happy and productive. Life is so much better when you are as well as you can be.
CMOs Wellness services shares the responsibility of good health between employers and employees. We give employers the tools to measure, monitor and help improve wellness in their employees, as a group.
Armed with new information, attention and tools, employees can then accept the responsibility of putting this plan into action.
Information about an individual's health remains absolutely private.
CMO helps individuals succeed by measuring, educating, coaching and staying in touch.
Employers
Engaging CMO means confirming to your staff that you want to contribute to their wellbeing. This brings with it enormous goodwill. We can deliver services from as simple as a basic health check, through to a longer term, full program of activities where we provide strategic guidance, operational planning, monitoring of progress, and evaluation.
The information we gather is provided back to individuals, while management receives summary reports, demonstrating the best area to prioritise future health programs.
Employees
Confidential information on your health status can be quickly measured by CMO health professionals, provided to you as a record, and its implications explained.
Programs designed to improve your health provide you with the power to succeed.
Physiotherapy
Poorly assessed and poorly treated injuries can develop into chronic injuries or pain, often resulting in redcuced productivity and loss of work days. Potential employees may have pre-existing musculoskeletal disorders that could result in an injury if left untreated.
Our Physiotherapists are capable of treating all musculoskeletal disorders. When it comes to musculoskeletal disorders, its all about prevention. The earlier our physiotherapists can intervene in the injury cycle, the better the outcome for the individual and their employer.
Our Physiotherapists can provide:
- Individual manual therapy treatment sessions (30 minutes)
- Dry needling therapy
- Clinical Pilates (as a group or as an individual)
- Work Station Assessments
- Professional Development Packages for Manual Handling and Injury Prevention
- Musculoskeletal Assessment Clinics
Skin Checks
Early detection of skin cancer is an essential element of preventive health measures. Most people are aware of this, but most are not confident in assessing personal risk.
CMO is recognized as a leader in this specialised service. We offer workforce skin checks to all employees at a very affordable price and in only 10 minutes.
We provide individualised information that will save lives and if done regularly, prevent disfigurement from a variety of skin cancers. A Commonwealth employee having their second annual skin check with CMO in late 2010 informed us that a lesion identified by us last year proved to be an early melanoma, and was cut out before the cancer could spread. This is our goal, and fabulous news to the employee, employer and CMO.
Health Checks
Health checks measure the overall wellness of individuals within an organization. We all know that chronic disease has become a serious issue, and is now so common, that almost every organization has a significant number of employees with, or at high risk of, chronic illness or injury.
At CMO, we adopt the mantra "Stop all new Diabetes", "Love your Heart", and "Reduce Cancer Risk". These are the three common killers in Australia.
CMO can attend your workplace and in 10-20 minutes, provide the measures required to estimate many of these risks.
We provide feedback on this confidential information to employees directly. Their risk level is indicated. Advice is given. Follow-up can be provided to ensure people are actively caring for themselves.
Workplace Wellness Programs
Type II diabetes is almost always caused by excessive weight gain. If people are identified at risk of diabetes, they CAN PREVENT development of the disease by losing weight. Losing weight then becomes an imperative, rather than an option.
CMO can teach groups of people how to lose weight. It is based on simple education that can revolutionise their lives.
Heart Health education programs are needed even more, with heart disease being Austrlia's biggest killer. CMO doctors can provide the information people need. When this is given in the context of a personal risk profile, it takes on an amazingly more important piece of instruction. You can be assured that at least some people will benefit.
When it comes to cancer, it's all about prevention. Lifestyle and genetic factors play a big role in the risk of cancer. We can share the latest knowledge with your staff and help them to reduce their personal risk and stay well by measuring, educating, inspiring.
