Body Composition Analysis

A DXA Body Composition Analysis provides baseline measurements and track changes in body fat and muscle mass over time, providing useful information to assess progress towards your goal.

This scientifically validated technique is available for anyone wanting highly accurate body composition information to help tailor their fitness training or weight loss program.

A DXA Body Composition Analysis is considered the gold standard measure of body composition, and has been proven to be significantly more accurate than other technologies such as skinfold (calliper) measurements and bioelectrical impedance.

There is no specific preparation required. Medications can be taken as normal. A referral from your health professional is not required.

You will be asked to change into a gown and lie on a padded table whilst a narrow "arm" passes over the body. The scan is painless and non-invasive.

After your examination, you will be able to resume normal activities. You will be given a printed copy of your Body Composition Analysis which can be discussed with your doctor, personal trainer, exercise physiologist or dietitian to develop a personalised and targeted program.
