Body Composition scans

​

DEXA body composition scan measures muscle mass and body fat percentage. DEXA scans are quick and painless. The scan is done in about 10 minutes. Once the scan is done, a detailed report will be generated showing where the muscle and fat is located in your body and we will give you a printed report to take home.

Body Composition is available at our Maroubra and Randwick (Silver St) rooms for only $70 and no referral is needed.
