Introducing Tanita Body Composition Scanning at Walker Street Doctors
You’ve stepped on a scale before—but what did that number really tell you?
At Walker Street Doctors, we believe true health is about more than just weight. That’s why we’re proud to offer state of the art body composition analysis using our Tanita Biometric Scales, the gold standard in medical-grade scanning technology.
These incredible machines go far beyond kilograms, giving you a full breakdown of your internal health in just seconds. Whether you’re training for a marathon, managing a chronic condition, or simply curious about your health status our Tanita scan gives you the knowledge you need to make real change.
What Does a Tanita Body Scan Measure?
Using advanced dual-frequency bioelectrical impedance (BIA) technology, the Tanita Body Composition Monitor gives you a detailed and accurate breakdown of your body, including:
- Body Fat Percentage & Fat Mass: Essential to track—not just for weight loss, but for long-term health.
- Visceral Fat Rating: Measures the fat stored deep around your abdominal organs (the most dangerous kind).
- Muscle Mass & Muscle Quality: Find out if your workouts are working—and identify imbalances that can lead to injury.
- Bone Mass: Understand how your diet and activity levels support your skeletal strength.
- Body Water Percentage: A key indicator of hydration and wellbeing.
- Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR): How many calories your body burns at rest—vital for tailoring your nutrition.
- Metabolic Age: How your body’s cellular health compares to your actual age.
- Physique Rating: A classification of your body type based on fat and muscle levels.
- BMI: For reference, though we believe it's only one small part of the puzzle.
- Segmental Analysis: Advanced scans show fat and muscle mass in your arms, legs, and torso independently.
Why Does Body Composition Matter?
Two people with the same weight can have entirely different body compositions—and very different health risks. That’s where a Tanita scan can be a game changer.
It tells you if your fat is stored in risky areas.
It shows if you're building (or losing) muscle.
It tracks your hydration, which affects everything from energy to immunity.
It gives insights into your bone health—especially important as we age.
It’s not about looking a certain way. It’s about understanding what’s happening under the surface so you can take action that’s right for your body.
Who Is It For?
The short answer? Everyone. Whether you’re:
- Starting a new fitness program
- Recovering from illness
- Curious about your metabolic health
- Wanting a clearer picture than BMI can provide
- Monitoring chronic conditions or managing weight
This scan offers clarity, motivation, and insight. Even children aged 5 and over can benefit from body composition monitoring using safe, painless technology.
