INBODY E-BOOK (body composition)

The InBody 570 is a medical-grade body composition analyzer that provides a highly accurate evaluation of your body’s muscle mass, body fat, water balance, and segmental (arm/leg/torso) distribution.
Unlike traditional devices, InBody does not use age- or gender-based estimation formulas, offering a true measurement of your physical condition.

Understanding your body composition is essential for:

• Identifying muscle weaknesses that contribute to pain
   
• Detecting swelling, inflammation, and water imbalance
   
• Tracking left–right muscular asymmetry
   
• Designing precise treatment and exercise plans
   
• Monitoring fat loss and muscle gain over time
   
• Supporting injury rehabilitation and posture correction programs

 1) Total Body Water (TBW)

• Intracellular Water (ICW)
• Extracellular Water (ECW)
  • Helps identify inflammation, swelling, and recovery status.

2) Skeletal Muscle Mass

• Full-body and segmental (right/left arms, legs, trunk).
• Key for understanding strength imbalances and posture issues.

3) Body Fat Mass & Body Fat Percentage

• Assesses overall fat levels, obesity risk, and metabolic health.

4) Segmental Lean Analysis

• Shows the exact muscle mass in each limb and trunk.
• Useful for identifying overuse, underuse, and asymmetry.

5) Visceral Fat Level

• Indicates internal abdominal fat related to back pain, fatigue, and inflammation.

6) ECW Ratio

• A key marker for edema, poor circulation, and systemic inflammation.

The InBody 570 helps us answer important clinical questions:

• Is your pain caused by muscle weakness?
   
• Is there swelling or inflammation affecting your joints or spine?
   
• Are your left and right sides imbalanced, contributing to poor posture?
   
• Is your body in a condition that allows for faster recovery?
   
• Do you need fat reduction, muscle strengthening, or both?
   

This data allows us to build a treatment plan that is precise, efficient, and tailored specifically to you.

To ensure accurate results:

• Avoid eating for 2 hours before the test
   
• Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and heavy exercise beforehand
   
• Use the restroom before testing
   
• Wear light clothing
   
• Remove socks (for foot electrodes)
   
• Whenever possible, measure at the same time of day for consistency

 1) Personalized Treatment Planning

• Weak areas → targeted strengthening & chiropractic correction
• Overused/tight areas → soft tissue release & mobility work

2) Posture Correction Programming

• Combined with Fit3D and Kinetisense data to identify deeper structural issues.

3) Rehabilitation Exercise Prescription

• Strengthening
• Stretching
• Mobility and stability exercises
• Designed based on your exact muscle and fat distribution.

4) Fat Loss & Muscle Gain Tracking

• Objective progress monitoring every 1–4 weeks.

• Patients with neck, back, shoulder, hip, or knee pain
   
• Posture or alignment issues
   
• Injury rehabilitation or PIP cases
   
• Individuals who want to improve fitness or performance
   
• Patients needing fat loss or muscle gain guidance
   
• Those experiencing fatigue, swelling, or water imbalance

• Test Duration: 30–60 seconds
• Suggested Frequency:
  • General patients: every 4 weeks
  • PIP / rehab patients: every 2 weeks
  • Fat-loss or muscle-gain clients: weekly or biweekly

• Skeletal Muscle Mass
   
• Body Fat Mass & Body Fat Percentage
   
• Segmental Muscle Analysis
   
• Visceral Fat Level
   
• ECW Ratio (swelling/inflammation index)
   
• Clinical interpretation
   
• Recommended exercises
   
• Basic nutrition guidance
   
• Tracking chart for future visits
