Measurement · InBody 770

The number, broken
into its parts.

Fat, muscle, water, visceral fat — measured on the InBody 770, medical-grade technology used in hospitals and research. No tape measure, no pinching, no judgment.

What it is

A 60-second scan that separates your weight into what it’s actually made of — body fat, skeletal muscle, water, and visceral fat, segment by segment: arms, legs, and trunk measured separately. You stand on the device and hold the electrodes. Then you sit down and read the results together with us.

Why the InBody 770 matters

It’s the top model in the InBody line — the same medical-grade scanner used in hospitals, research, and NASA’s wellness program. Accuracy is about 95% equivalent to a DEXA scan, with no x-rays and no radiation.

Most scanners stop at fat and muscle. The 770 also reads your body water — including fluid retention in each limb. That’s the fluid our lymphatic treatments are designed to move — so your scan doesn’t just measure change, it can help explain it.

InBody vs a DEXA scan

A DEXA (DXA) scan uses a low dose of x-ray radiation and is usually booked through a radiology clinic. The InBody 770 reaches roughly 95% of DEXA’s accuracy with a quick, walk-in scan — no radiation, no referral, no waiting room. For tracking body fat, muscle and fluid over time, an InBody scan is the faster, more accessible option, and you can repeat it as often as you like.

How to prepare

Best for

A baseline before any program, a monthly check-in, or a scan your GP asked for. Not suitable if you have a pacemaker or an implanted electronic device.

Where to find us

The InBody 770 lives at our Chermside studio — an easy trip from right across Brisbane’s northside, including Aspley, Lutwyche, Stafford and the surrounding suburbs.

Why we scan body water

The lymphatic connection.

When your body feels heavy, it’s often fluid — not fatigue. The 770’s body-water sheet shows retention in each arm, each leg, and your trunk. It’s the exact thing the Lymphatic Roller and Vacuum Treadmill & Bike treatments are designed to move — so when you scan before and after, you see what shifted: fat, water, or muscle. Most women shift fluid first. That’s real, that’s why you feel lighter in your clothes, and it’s the start rather than the whole story.

Good to know

Questions about the scan

How accurate is the InBody 770?
It’s the top model in the InBody line — the same medical-grade scanner used in hospitals, clinical research, and NASA’s wellness program. Accuracy is about 95% equivalent to a gold-standard DEXA scan, with no x-rays and no radiation.
What does the scan feel like?
Nothing uncomfortable at all. You stand on the device barefoot and hold two electrode handles for about 60 seconds while a gentle, imperceptible electrical current measures how easily it passes through different tissues. No pinching, no tape measure, no undressing required.
How should I prepare?
Avoid eating for 3–4 hours before your scan and skip exercise beforehand — arrive normally hydrated. If you’re tracking change over time, try to repeat scans under similar conditions so the comparison stays honest.
How often should I scan?
Monthly is a good rhythm for most people — often enough to see real trends, spaced out enough for meaningful change to show. Some clients scan more often around the start of a program; your first scan gives you the baseline everything else is measured against.
Can anyone do it?
Most people are great candidates. The scan isn’t suitable if you have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device, since it works by passing a gentle current through the body. If you’re pregnant, managing a medical condition, or taking medication, please check with your GP first.

Body composition scanning is an estimate, not a diagnostic, and nothing here is medical advice. If you’re pregnant, managing a medical condition or taking medication, speak to your GP first.
