➡️NEW TO THE OFFICE⬅️
We have added an InBody scanner to our office. Results will be printed out at the time of your scan for you to take home.
The importance of a body scan versus just weighing yourself is a body scan measures proportions of different types of tissue in your body that make up your total weight. Body composition measures fat mass, both under the skin and around the organs. It measures lean mass, including anything that isn't fat: skeletal, muscle, bones, organs, blood and water. Body composition provide a more detailed picture of health and fitness by focusing on high muscle mass and low body fat percentage. It also suggests a specific basal metabolic rate or the number of calories that you burn daily at total rest.
Weighing your self just gives you a single number that doesn't distinguish between fat, muscle, bone and other tissues and does not provide a full picture of health.
The information given is extensive, and can give you a better perspective on your overall health, and lead you to take action based on your current composition and give insight that just taking weight alone can't.
Body Composition Analysis
This section gives you a solid breakdown of your overall body composition, displaying these vital measurements in pounds (lb):
• Total Body Water
• Dry Lean Mass
• Body Fat Mass
• Weight
Because protein makes up most of your muscle, and Dry Lean Mass excludes body water, if your Dry Lean Mass increases, then this is generally a sign that you have gained muscle mass!
Muscle-Fat Analysis
• SKELETAL MUSCLE MASS (SMM)
This is the total weight of your Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM). SMM is the muscle that can be grown and developed through exercise. Unlike Lean Body Mass, which includes everything except body fat, you can confidently interpret an increase in SMM as muscle gain.
• BODY FAT MASS
This is how much body fat you have (both the surface level and internal fat).
The Muscle-Fat Analysis also tells you whether you have a balance of SMM and Body Fat Mass in respect to your weight.
If you want to improve your strength and physique, you should monitor your SMM and Body Fat Mass bars to ensure that SMM increases without a significant increase in Body Fat Mass.
It gives visceral fat, which is the fat around your organs.
For PBF, the ranges differ for men and women, as women tend to carry more body fat than men due to their reproductive system and genetics.
The Body Composition History graph makes it easy to spot when positive body composition changes occur. For instance, a gradual increase in Skeletal Muscle Mass and decrease in Body Fat Mass over the past few tests indicates that you’ve made excellent progress towards improving your overall body composition. It can also show that negative body composition changes can occur if your weight remains the same or even decreases for the wrong reason.
Segmental Lean Analysis can help you see areas where you need to increase your Lean Body Mass. Achieving a more balanced, healthy body composition may have other positive effects, such as body fat reduction.
If you have an upper and lower muscle imbalance, increase your LBM in your lower legs to reduce your risk of injury. On the other hand, if one side of your body has more developed muscle mass than the other, optimize your strength training to achieve a better balanced LBM distribution.
Tracking phase angle over time can help identify potential changes to cellular health that may be associated with disease.
Muscle mass is the key to longevity, and we can watch to make sure your not losing muscle as we age.
