Body fat, not weight, is the better measure of one's health and fitness. Our body composition analysis will break down your body weight into pounds of fat, lean body mass and body water. You will also receive an estimate of your daily caloric intake and basal metabolic rate.
This test is done with near-infrared light technology and is administered on your dominant bicep.

| Bone Density Screenings |
Taking a low-powered x-ray of your wrist or an ultra-sound of your heel, we can show you the current density of your bones. The density of the wrist and heel are strongly correlated to the strength of both the hip and the spine.
Bone density testing is offered for osteoporosis, the disease that silently and over the years thins and weakens bones. Every individual over the age of 30 should have a baseline bone density measurement to determine if peak bone mass has ever developed. Participating in a bone density test will reveal your present and future risk of fracture.
