INBODY assessment
Better Understand Your Body Using Objective Insights Into Muscle, Fat, and Metabolic Health.
An InBody Scan is an advanced body composition assessment that goes beyond a simple weight measurement to provide a clearer picture of your overall health. Rather than focusing only on the number on the scale, InBody helps identify what your weight is made of — muscle, fat, and water.
Our clinic uses the InBody Scan to provide a safe, painless, and non‑invasive body composition analysis. This advanced technology uses bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to measure how a mild electrical current moves through different tissues in your body. Since muscle, fat, and body water each conduct electricity differently, the InBody scan delivers highly accurate insights into your muscle mass, body fat percentage, and overall fluid balance.
This detailed information supports informed decision-making around health, fitness, and wellness goals. Whether you’re looking to build muscle, reduce fat, monitor metabolic health, or track progress over time, InBody provides objective data to guide your care.
InBody assessments are available at Fundament Health in Edmonton as part of our physician-directed wellness services.
Benefits of InBody Composition Assessment
The InBody scan is quick, painless, and non-invasive, requiring no needles, radiation, or recovery time. The assessment takes only a few minutes and fits easily into a clinical or wellness visit.
InBody provides detailed measurements of muscle mass, body fat percentage, visceral fat, water distribution, and body symmetry—offering a far more complete picture of health than weight or BMI alone.
Repeat assessments allow for objective tracking of changes in body composition, helping identify trends in muscle development, fat loss, hydration, and metabolic health over time.
Results can be used to inform individualized care plans, supporting decisions related to strength training, nutrition, metabolic health, and overall wellness strategy.
InBody assessments are appropriate for individuals focused on preventive health, recovery, fitness optimization, or long-term health monitoring.
InBody Scan – Frequently Asked Questions
Is an InBody Scan right for me?
InBody assessments are helpful for individuals who want a deeper understanding of their body composition beyond weight alone. A consultation can help determine how the scan fits into your personal health or wellness goals.
How is InBody different from a regular scale?
Traditional scales measure only total body weight. InBody analyzes muscle, fat, and body water separately, providing a more accurate and clinically useful picture of overall body composition.
Is the scan safe?
Yes. InBody uses a very low-level electrical current that is non-invasive, painless, and widely used in medical, fitness, and wellness settings.
How often should I have an InBody assessment?
Frequency depends on individual goals. Some people scan every 4–8 weeks to track progress, while others complete assessments periodically as part of routine health monitoring.
Do I need to prepare for an InBody scan?
For best accuracy, it’s recommended to avoid eating, intense exercise, or excessive hydration immediately before the scan. Your care team can provide specific guidance if needed.
