We combine gold-standard imaging with advanced motion tracking to give you a complete picture of your body. From bone density and muscle mass to movement quality and joint function.
Advanced DEXA scanning and motion analysis to measure bone density, body composition, strength, stability, and movement. Take control of your health with hard data, not guesswork.
Get medical-grade insight into your body composition and skeletal health to understand disease risk, track progress, and make smarter health decisions.
Using markerless motion tracking software, establish a baseline of your body’s strength, stability, balance, and range of motion. Take control of how your body changes as you age.
With our posture and gait analysis you can identify inefficiencies, asymmetries, and risk factors before they become injuries.
We are a musculoskeletal wellness and longevity center, a subsidiary of Body Guitar Clinic, dedicated to helping people understand and optimize their bodies. Using advanced DEXA scanning, we measure bone density, body fat, muscle mass, and overall body composition to support both medical needs, like osteoporosis or osteopenia, and general health and wellness.
Our motion evaluations use marker-less tracking to assess strength, stability, balance, and range of motion over time, helping prevent chronic issues before they develop. We also provide specialized assessments for gait, sarcopenia, and athletic performance in activities like strength training, golf and pickleball.
Our mission is simple: provide precise, actionable data so you can move better, reduce injury risk, and improve your long-term health and longevity.
A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is a quick, non-invasive imaging test that uses very low-dose X-rays to measure bone density and body composition.
It provides detailed insights into:
Yes: DEXA scans are extremely safe.
They use a very low level of radiation. A typical scan is approximately 0.4 microsieverts, which is comparable to the natural radiation exposure from everyday activities (about the equivalent of eating 4-10 bananas).
DEXA scans are:
Preparation is simple, but a few guidelines help ensure accurate results:
A DEXA scan gives you objective data about how your body is changing over time.
It can help you:
DEXA is also considered the gold standard for diagnosing osteoporosis and evaluating bone health.
The dexa scan is recommended for anyone over 45 to check and monitor bone health. We recommend starting much earlier to see if you need to improve bone health so that it is not a problem when older.
The body composition part of the Dexa scan is a whole different evaluation. We consider it a part of activity and aging and could be considered at any age, but is generally recommended after age 18.
DEXA is considered the gold standard for measuring both bone density and body composition.
It provides highly precise and reproducible measurements, making it one of the most trusted tools in both clinical medicine and research.
InBody vs DEXA: Which Body Composition Scan Is Better? If you’ve been using InBody scans, you’re probably wondering whether you need a DEXA. Here’s a clear comparison.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Visceral Fat:
InBody - Estimated (often inaccurate)
DEXA - Highly accurate
Muscle Mass (ALMI):
InBody - rough estimate
DEXA - Precise
Fat Distribution:
InBody - basic
DEXA - Detailed (A/G ratio, Trunk/limb)
Bone Density:
Inbody - Not measured
DEXA - Full Measurement
Repeatability:
InBody - affected by hydration
DEXA - Very consistent
DEXA
Special Consideration: GLP-1 Medications (Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, Zepbound, etc.) If you are using or considering GLP-1 receptor agonists, this is where the difference between InBody and DEXA becomes critically important.
Why accurate measurement matters with GLP-1s: GLP-1s are highly effective for fat loss, including visceral fat (VAT). However, they can also cause significant muscle loss (up to 30–40% of total weight lost can come from lean muscle in some studies).
Losing too much muscle while on GLP-1s can:
Slow your metabolism
Increase frailty risk
Make it harder to maintain weight loss long-term
Negatively affect bone density
InBody vs DEXA for GLP-1 users:
InBody often overestimates muscle mass and underestimates changes in visceral fat on these medications. DEXA gives you precise, reliable measurements of:
How much VAT you are actually losing (the good fat loss)
How much muscle (especially ALMI) you are losing or preserving
Changes in fat distribution
Bone density trends
Recommendation for GLP-1 users: Get a baseline DEXA before starting or early in treatment, then follow up every 6 months. This allows you (and your provider) to:
Confirm you’re losing dangerous visceral fat
Catch muscle loss early and adjust protein intake, resistance training, or medication dose
Protect your metabolism and long-term healthMany patients on GLP-1s are surprised to discover on their first DEXA that they lost more muscle than they realized.
Best Strategy:
Use InBody for frequent, low-cost trend tracking between major scans. Use DEXA for accurate baseline measurements and key check-ins — especially if you are on GLP-1s, have back pain, or are focused on long-term metabolic and musculoskeletal health.
Bottom Line:
InBody is convenient for general trends.
DEXA is the superior choice when you want accurate data — particularly for visceral fat, muscle preservation, and when using powerful medications like GLP-1s. Understanding your true body composition helps you make smarter decisions and protect your health for the long term.

A Motion Evaluation is an advanced, markerless movement assessment that analyzes how your body performs in real time.
It provides objective measurements of:
This evaluation is often used before or after physical therapy, training programs, or surgical procedures to track improvements, identify limitations, and detect early signs of dysfunction.
You can’t improve what you don’t measure.
A Motion Evaluation gives you a clear baseline of how your body moves, allowing you to:
It also provides objective data- so even if progress isn’t obvious day-to-day, you can see measurable improvements, which helps keep you motivated and consistent.
The right frequency depends on your goals, but common recommendations include:
Regular evaluations allow you to track changes over time and adjust your approach as your body evolves.
Sarcopenia screening evaluates age-related loss of muscle mass, strength, and function.
Using objective data from DEXA body composition, grip strength, and gait speed, this screening helps identify early signs of muscle decline before it significantly impacts mobility or independence.
It can help you:
Sarcopenia screening is especially important as you age, as your risk increases each year after the age of 65.
Posture analysis evaluates how your body is aligned at rest.
Using advanced motion tracking, it identifies imbalances and deviations that may contribute to pain, stiffness, or inefficient movement patterns.
It can help identify:
By understanding your posture, you can take targeted steps to improve alignment, reduce strain, and move more efficiently.
Gait analysis assesses how you walk.
This evaluation uses markerless motion tracking to measure movement patterns, timing, and symmetry throughout your walking cycle.
It provides insight into:
Gait analysis can help identify underlying issues that may contribute to pain, injury, or reduced performance, and is especially useful for rehabilitation, injury prevention, and optimizing movement over time.
