Even though it doesn’t seem like it, more than 60% of your body weight can be water. The amount of water in your body fluctuates throughout the day, depending on the time of day and how much water you’ve had, which can change your weight by a few pounds. It’s another reason that the number on the scale might be deceptive, so an InBody scan gives a clearer picture of your weight.

Exact Data About Your Health
The number on the scale is exactly just that—a number that doesn’t give us any more information about what actually makes up your weight. Though two people might weigh the same, their muscle mass and body fat percentage could be incredibly different, so we need an effective way to measure the proportions of muscle to body fat.
Enter our InBody 570 scanning in Chicago, a revolutionary technology that gives a detailed breakdown of the amount of muscle, fat, and water in your body. With exact information about your body makeup, the team at Balanced Flow Wellness can better create a wellness plan that considers your individual data and matches your body goals.

The InBody Scanning Process
Step 1: Consultation
While the information from an InBody scan is valuable on its own, it's truly useful when implemented into a customized wellness program. We provide complementary scans before wellness consultations to thoroughly understand your situation, your goals, and your medical history. With the information you give us, we develop a program for you that involves the data from your InBody scan.
Step 2: InBody Scan
We'll provide you with more detailed instructions on how to prepare for your InBody scan, such as not eating or exercising for a period before the test. The InBody scan requires you to step onto a scale and align your feet with the foot electrodes. After it confirms your weight, you enter some info into the machine, such as age and height. Then, place your thumbs on the oval electrodes and keep still until the scan is complete! Your results will print out in 45 seconds.
Step 3: Follow-Up
After you complete the body scanning in Chicago at our office, one of our team members will review the results with you and implement them into your treatment plan.
