Big thanks for DexaFit for educating us on another great resource for our patients’ health and fitness.
DexaFit is a locally owned business that performs tests that give you unique and precise insights into your health. If you want accurate objective data to help you in your health goals, read on!
DexaFit does 3 main tests. Here’s a quick summary and how it can help you. Check out their website for more info!
✅ DEXA Scans – Gold-standard for tracking bone density, lean mass, and fat distribution. We posted a few pages of the type of info you get from this test. This is crucial for:
• Post-op recovery (e.g., rebuilding muscle after ACL or rotator cuff repair)
• Monitoring for osteopenia/osteoporosis
• Targeting sarcopenia or age-related atrophy
• Tracking and monitoring body composition progress
• Measuring progress in your fitness goals
✅ Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Testing – Know exactly how many calories your body burns at rest so you can dial in nutrition. This is especially important during injury recovery or weight loss.
✅ VO₂ Max Testing – Ideal for endurance athletes or anyone looking to optimize cardiovascular health and aerobic capacity. This is great if you are starting a training plan for a race or just looking to track your cardio health.
Using DexaFit can help you track and reach your goals whether you are just looking to improve your health, increasing your bone density, or recovering from an injury.
🎯 More objective data = smarter recovery decisions.
