Most people step on the scales and focus on a single number: their weight.
But weight alone tells you very little about your health.
Two people can weigh exactly the same, yet have completely different bodies — one with higher muscle mass and lower body fat, and another with lower muscle and higher fat. This is why understanding body composition is far more useful than simply tracking weight.
At Pottsville Physio, we are offering InBody 570 Body Composition Scans for a limited time, allowing you to gain deeper insight into your body in less than a minute.
What Is Body Composition?
Body composition refers to the different components that make up your body, including:
- Muscle mass
- Body fat
- Body water
- Bone mass
Your overall weight is simply the total of these components. What really matters for long-term health is how much muscle and fat your body contains and how they are distributed.
For example, someone can lose weight on the scales but actually lose muscle rather than fat — something that can negatively impact metabolism, strength and long-term health.
What Is an InBody 570 Scan?
The InBody 570 is a medical-grade body composition scanner used by health professionals, physiotherapists and sports scientists.
It uses advanced bioelectrical impedance technology to analyse how different tissues in your body conduct electrical currents, allowing it to calculate detailed body composition measurements.
The scan takes less than one minute and provides a comprehensive report showing key information about your body.
What Your Scan Will Show
Your InBody report provides a detailed breakdown including:
Body Fat Percentage
How much of your total body weight is fat.
Skeletal Muscle Mass
The amount of muscle you carry, which is essential for strength, metabolism and long-term health.
Visceral Fat Levels
Fat stored around your organs, which is linked to increased risk of chronic disease.
Segmental Muscle Analysis
Shows the muscle distribution in each arm, leg and your trunk to identify imbalances.
Hydration & Body Water Balance
Important for performance, recovery and overall health.
Basal Metabolic Rate
The number of calories your body burns at rest.
This information helps you understand what is actually happening inside your body, rather than relying on the scales alone.
Why Body Composition Matters After 40
From around the age of 30–40, most people begin to gradually lose muscle mass, a process known as sarcopenia.
This loss of muscle can lead to:
- Reduced metabolism
- Increased body fat
- Reduced strength and mobility
- Increased injury risk
- Poorer balance and bone health
Maintaining and building muscle through strength training, Pilates and regular exercise is one of the most effective ways to support healthy ageing.
An InBody scan allows you to track these changes and ensure your exercise program is actually improving your body composition.
Who Should Get a Body Composition Scan?
An InBody scan is useful for anyone who wants to better understand their health and fitness, especially if you are:
- Starting a new exercise program
- Trying to lose body fat
- Building muscle or strength
- Attending Pilates or strength classes
- Recovering from injury
- Focused on healthy ageing
It provides a baseline measurement that allows you to track progress over time.
A Powerful Tool for Exercise and Rehabilitation
At Pottsville Physio, we often use body composition insights to help guide:
- Rehabilitation programs
- Pilates programs
- Strength and conditioning
- Healthy ageing strategies
Understanding your muscle mass and body composition helps ensure your program is targeted toward building strength, improving function and supporting long-term health.
