Health improvement activities

Many people are concerned with healthy living and eating. A dietician is the specialist in the field of nutrition linked to lifestyle and health and can best help you with questions, plans and adjustments.

If you have a question about (healthy) food or food-related complaints, you can visit the consultation hour of dietician Marike ten Oever. She organizes a walk-in consultation hour every first Wednesday afternoon of the month. 20 minutes are reserved per person in which you can ask your question and if necessary a screening can be carried out.

A screening can consist of measuring weight, BMI, fat%, waist measurement, blood pressure. On the basis of this information, she will provide personal advice and, if necessary, will provide information about a possible follow-up trajectory in the regular circuit.

The walk-in consultation hour is not intended for regular dietician treatment, but it is intended as an accessible way to gain a first insight into your lifestyle and eating pattern and what a dietitian can possibly do for you.

Location: UT Campus General Practice
Campuslaan 99 7522 NE Enschede - www.campushuisarts.nl

For questions prior to the consultation hour, you can contact Marike ten Oever by e-mail: m.tenoever@home.nl

A good massage helps you relax and loosens your muscles when you have to sit or stand in the same position for prolonged periods of time during your work. This is why the UT offers a chair massage to its staff. It concerns a well thought-out and effective pressure point massage of your back, shoulders, arms, hips, neck and head. 

You are not required to undress and no oil is used. The massage is provided in a chair specially made for this purpose, is constructive in nature, provides you with a better awareness of your body and prevents a number of complaints. In addition, it improves blood circulation and stimulates the body's self-healing ability. 

The UT chair massage summarized:

• preventive effect 
• pressure points 
• no need to undress
