Biometric Screening

A biometric screening establishes a health baseline used to evaluate the risk for various health issues, many of which are prevented through early detection and lifestyle changes.  At Healthy Lives, we use the information from biometric screening to help our members stay healthy.

Q: Who is eligible to complete a biometric screening?

All FMOLHS team members are eligible to complete a Healthy Lives screening at no cost.

 Q: Why should I complete a biometric screening?

Completing a biometric screening team members can:

• Take the first steps on the path to living a healthier lifestyle. A biometric screening may help you identify a health-related problem you didn’t know you had.
• Earn a cash incentive of up to $550.

Q: Why do I need to complete a Health Risk Questionnaire?

Preventable chronic conditions contribute to 75% of health care costs. Heart disease, for example, can be prevented with proper diet and exercise. Early identification of certain risk factors, such as high cholesterol or blood pressure, can prevent more significant problems down the road.

This is where biometric screenings are most beneficial.  A regular assessment of an individual’s health can provide valuable insight into current or potential medical issues and their risk for chronic, preventable diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension. It can identify strategies for improved health and well-being.

Kinesics

In partnership with Healthy Lives, Kinesics is a platform to improve balance and mobility, a personalized plan to address your individual needs. During your Healthy Lives screening, you will receive a full range of motion evaluation and a one-on-one results review. Team members receive a customized flexibility and mobility program that is 100% unique to your body and includes video tutorials, so you feel confident about executing your program.

Q: What is a Kinesics Evaluation?

The Kinesics evaluation is a series of range of motion measurements used to identify joint and muscle restrictions that can cause pain or limitations with movement and overall function.

A professional will guide you through a series of simple movements and measure joint angles with a digital measurement device. It shouldn’t hurt, but if you feel any pain or discomfort with a movement, you can tell the professional, and he/she will not proceed with that measurement.

Q: How can I prepare for my evaluation?

• We recommend not stretching or performing strenuous activities before arriving for your appointment. You can remain clothed in your work attire if it’s a shirt and pants – no dresses or skirts, please.
• It’s best to wear non-restrictive clothing and remove any outerwear (blazers, jackets) before your evaluation to ensure you have a full range of motion to capture accurate measurements.
• You will be asked to remove your shoes for a portion of the evaluation.

Q: How long does it take to complete the Kinesics evaluation?

• The Kinesics assessment can take up to 15 minutes and includes a brief review of your results with your evaluator in the Kinesics app.
• Your Kinesics assessment is part of your Healthy Lives screening appointment.

Q: How does the Kinesics evaluation affect my employment?

Your evaluation does not affect your current employment status. 

Q: What does Kinesics do with my information?

Your evaluation data is shared only with Healthy Lives.  Together, we can better understand how your body moves and provide you with the resources to help you feel better and move better at home and work.

Kinesics will work with you (and, if you wish, your doctor) to support and supplement an injury management care plan and decrease the duration of your medical intervention, getting you back to feeling and moving better!

Q: Is this a Pass or Fail exam?

No. There are no right or wrong human bodies!  The Kinesics program design is to identify areas of your body that are vulnerable to pain and injury before it becomes a problem.  If your results fall into a higher risk, a Kinesics professional will design a Custom Mobility Program for you to do for a few minutes each day, at work or home.  Team members should return in three (3) months for a follow-up evaluation to see how you are progressing and update your program.  The goal is to keep your body moving the way God intended!

Q: My results show I fall into the at-risk category; now what?

Upon completing your assessment, your Professional will briefly review your results in the Kinesics app. You will receive a results summary sheet that defines your ‘MHI’ percentage and the top five (5) restricted measurements from your evaluation.  If you fall into the at-risk category, your Professional will design a Custom Mobility Program for you based on the restricted measurements identified in your assessment. You should return in three (3) months for a follow-up evaluation to track your progress and update your program until you are no longer in the at-risk category.

Q: Does a severe measurement mean that I am going to be injured?

No. These measurements are not diagnostic or predictive of MSK pain or injury. A measurement outside of the reference range is not a certainty for injury, just as addressing measurements outside of the reference range is not guaranteed to prevent injury.  Poor posture, muscle imbalance and asymmetry, and joint restrictions are all risk factors of injury. Kinesics address these risk factors by ensuring the correct freedom of movement in all muscles and joints to reduce the risk of pain and injury from unnecessary wear and tear. A misaligned body is like a misaligned car. Wear and tear occur, increasing your risk for injury and hindering you from doing the things that bring you joy.

Q: How do I download the Kinesics app?

The Kinesics app is available for download in the Apple and Google Play App Store.

Step 1: Tap the App Store application on your device, then enter ‘Kinesics’ in the search box. Tap on the Get or Install button to download.

Step 2: Create a password.  Make sure you can access your email to open the email from Kinesics with your temporary password in it. (If you didn’t receive an email from Kinesics, check your spam or junk folder.)  Click on the link in your email to create a password.  Enter your new password into the data fields, then tap the set new password button to save.   The link to create a new password will expire within 24-hours after account creation.

Step 3: Login to the app.  Open the Kinesics app on your device, enter your username and password, and then Tap the Login button.

Q: How can I reset my password on the Kinesics app?

Go to www.kinesicshealth.com/password and enter your FMOLHS email address. Kinesics will send an email with a link to reset your password. Follow the directions in your email to reset your password.
