DEXA Scans, Assessments & Testing
At the Wellness Institute Clinic, we offer a range of assessment and testing packages to help you achieve your health and fitness goals.
Dexa Scan/DXA body composition analysis – $130
A DEXA (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) is the gold standard to evaluate body composition. Gain a complete picture of your body’s fat mass, lean mass, and bone density. The DEXA provides insights based on body fat distribution in the arms, legs, android (waist), gynoid (hips), and visceral (abdominal) fat. Visceral fat has been linked to metabolic issues and increased risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Additional DEXA packages available.
Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Analysis – $100
Know how many calories you are expected to burn in a day at rest and the overall speed of your metabolism. Your RMR is a great start to understanding what your body needs for sustainable weight gain, loss, or maintenance. The simple, non-invasive test analyses your breathing over 10 minutes in a relaxed position and is the gold standard for determining your caloric needs.
VO2 Max Test – $150
VO2 Max (or maximal oxygen consumption) is a measure of your body’s top capacity to extract, transport, and use oxygen during exercise. A higher V02 Max means your heart and lungs efficiently deliver more oxygen to your muscles, translating to greater endurance and better long-term health. This test helps you understand your health and fitness, and can help you track progress with performance goals.
Follow Up – $60
Book a follow up appointment with a Clinical Exercise Physiologist to review your results, set goals, discuss exercise prescription, and much more.
