What is Body Composition Testing with the InBody Device?

InBody testing is a non-invasive diagnostic service that provides a detailed breakdown of your body’s key metrics. Using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA), the InBody machine evaluates fat mass, muscle mass, body water, and more. Unlike standard scales that only measure weight, this test gives a full picture of your internal health, empowering you and your care team with information essential to optimizing fitness and medical outcomes.

The test also includes a grip strength analysis—a valuable measure of muscular function and overall vitality.

Benefits of Body Composition Testing

  • Personalized metrics: Learn your muscle mass, fat percentage, and body water levels
  • Improved health tracking: Monitor progress over time with precise, comparative data
  • Early detection: Identify imbalances that may affect cardiovascular health or overall function
  • No radiation: Safe, non-invasive, and suitable for frequent use—unlike DEXA.
  • Motivation and accountability: Get real-time insight to stay focused on health goals
  • Clinical accuracy: Performed in a professional medical environment with expert guidance
  • Functional strength assessment: Grip strength testing reveals important trends in aging and health

Am I a Good Candidate for Body Composition Testing?

This test is ideal for:

  • Patients beginning a new health or fitness program
  • Individuals managing weight, chronic conditions, or post-procedural recovery
  • Those interested in lifestyle-based cardiovascular care
  • Anyone who wants deeper insight into their body’s composition and performance

If you’re ready to better understand your body and enhance your health strategy, this test is for you.

Your Consultation

Your consultation begins with a conversation. We want to understand your goals, concerns, and health background before the test. Dr. Sharma or a member of our trained clinical team will explain what the InBody device measures, why it matters, and how we use that data to support your personalized care plan.

How Much Does it Cost?

We strive to make all of our services accessible and will discuss pricing during your consultation. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment options if the test is not covered under your specific benefits.

What to Expect During Body Composition Testing

The procedure is quick and non-invasive. You’ll stand on the device’s platform barefoot and grip its handles for a few moments while the machine measures your body’s metrics using low-level electrical currents. You’ll also perform a brief grip strength test, which requires squeezing a hand-held device.

The entire process takes just a few minutes and is performed in a private, calm clinical setting.

Your InBody test results may include:

  • Segmental lean analysis (muscle balance by limb and trunk)
  • Total body water
  • Intracellular vs. extracellular water
  • Visceral fat level
  • Skeletal muscle mass
  • Body fat percentage
  • Basal metabolic rate

Other Services That Complement Body Composition Testing
