Body Composition Australia is the fast, safe, comfortable way to assess what's “going on” on the inside.  Our staff are accredited exercise physiologists dedicated to delivering individual health assessments and customised advice.

Body Composition Australia uses the worlds most advanced scanning technology from Hologic, USA.  Dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), assesses total body bone mineral density and highly accurate measures of the body’s soft tissue composition (muscle mass and fat mass).  By measuring your body’s muscle mass, fat mass, and bone mineral density, Body Composition Australia can determine your total body fat percentage, and changes in regional body composition. We also undertake specific measures to determine your risk of Type 2 Diabetes and heart disease. 

We then use these results to provide specific quantitative information on your ideal caloric intake and energy expenditure, helping you achieve your health and weight loss goals and improved total body health.

One hour consultation ($180.00)

·  Total body DEXA scan.

The one hour consultation is normally part of a longer program of care that may involve examination of food diaries, comprehensive exercise advice and programming. We will set goals together based on achieving your ideal weight as determined by the scan.
