A DXA Scan, sometimes called a “Dexa Scan,” is the most accurate way to measure body composition. By measuring body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, bone mineral density, and other key health markers, it provides a detailed picture of what is happening inside your body. Your visit includes comprehensive body composition and bone health analysis, along with both full-body and central scans, giving you a complete view of your results in a single assessment.
Following your scan, you'll meet one-on-one with a Master's-level Performance Physiologist for a personalized 30-minute data review to review your results, understand how they relate to your health, fitness, or longevity goals, and identify the opportunities that can make the biggest impact. Rather than leaving with a report full of numbers, you'll leave with a clear understanding of what your data means and actionable next steps to improve your health, body composition, and long-term performance.
A DXA Scan, or dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, is a quick and painless scan using low-dose X-ray beams. The scan itself takes upwards of 15 minutes. You lay down on the stationary scanning table while the arm of the machine moves and scans up and down your body.
Those monitoring their muscle and fat composition can benefit from DXA Scans every six months. Bone density can be checked annually for changes.
