InBody Scan
Australian Dietitian offers premium body composition analysis using the InBody 770.
Maximising muscle mass and decreasing fat mass are key indicators of healthy changes to your body composition that don’t necessarily show up on a basic set of scales. A comprehensive scan of your body composition is the best method to track positive changes and measure the effectiveness of your nutrition and exercise strategies.
