Where Momentum works

Weight loss isn’t just about appearance; it’s about supporting your long-term health.

Our goal is to help reduce the risk of serious conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure and offer a program to optimise health at any stage of your weight loss journey.

Tailored care

We take an evidence-based approach to your health. Our team will assess your goals, lifestyle, and concerns to develop a personalised plan that may be right for you.

Addressing the cause

Lasting weight loss goes beyond the surface. We work to address both the metabolic and behavioural factors that influence weight, aiming to support sustainable progress.

Ongoing support

We’re here for the long haul. We offer regular check-ins, lifestyle support, and access to nutrition and exercise planning. Combined with medical treatments like pharmacotherapy, you may have the tools to potentially help you stay on track. Meet the team supporting you through your weight loss journey.

Prehabilitation

Prehabilitation is a proactive approach to weight loss before surgery or major treatment. By improving your health and fitness beforehand, we may help enhance your recovery and outcomes.

Benefits of Weight Loss

Prehabilitation and the Momentum Program:

How weight loss medications can help optimise outcomes for scheduled surgery:

Reduce surgical risks

Excess weight may increase the risk of complications, such as infection or anaesthesia issues. Prehabilitation may improve metabolic and cardiovascular health, reducing risk.

Improves mobility

Before joint or orthopaedic surgery, losing weight may reduce pressure on muscles and joints. This may support rehab, ease movement, and potentially prevent future wear and tear.

Improve recovery

Better strength and fitness before surgery may lead to a faster recovery. Prehabilitation weight loss may further support shorter hospital stays and an earlier return to daily life.

Lowers inflammation

Excess weight may cause chronic inflammation. Losing weight before surgery may reduce inflammation and support a smoother recovery.

Heart and lung health

Pre-surgery weight loss may improve heart and lung function. This may reduce risks associated with anaesthesia and support better post-op recovery.

Boosts immunity

When combined with good nutrition and exercise, weight loss may strengthen your immune system. In turn, this may lower the risk of post-op infections.

Reduce complications

Weight loss before surgery may lower the chance of complications like infections and blood clots. It may also reduce the strain on the body during high-impact surgeries.

Long-term health

Prehabilitation encourages healthier habits, like better nutrition and movement. This may reduce the risk of conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Improves precision

Less body fat may give surgeons better access and visibility. This may help them perform the procedure more precisely and improve outcomes.
