Perfect Balance Partners with Scanletics DEXA Lab
We’re excited to announce our partnership with Scanletics, London’s premier DEXA body composition lab.
At Perfect Balance, our goal is simple: help you move better, recover properly, and return to full function as efficiently as possible. Increasingly, that means going beyond symptoms and looking at the deeper drivers of health – muscle mass, body fat distribution and bone density.
That’s where Scanletics comes in.
Who Are Scanletics?
Scanletics is a best-in-class DEXA clinic focused on delivering the most precise body composition measurements, paired with clear, actionable reporting.
The lab was co-founded by Dr Sam Botchey, former doctor to the England national football teams and Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Tottenham. He now practises as a longevity physician at Lanserhof, bringing elite-level medical standards into everyday health.
Using the top-grade Hologic scanner – the gold standard in clinical and research settings – Scanletics measures:
Lean mass (by body compartment), helping identify muscle imbalances that may affect movement, recovery and joint stability
Fat mass, including visceral fat, which is closely linked to metabolic health and inflammation
Bone density, providing essential insight for fracture risk and osteoporosis management
The scan itself takes less than five minutes, followed by a 35-minute consultation to review results and identify practical opportunities to improve health, recovery and performance.
Why This Matters for Our Patients
Rehabilitation and performance don’t happen in isolation. Muscle mass influences joint stability and recovery speed. Body fat distribution affects metabolic health and inflammation. Bone density plays a critical role in long-term structural resilience.
Objective data removes uncertainty. Instead of relying purely on symptoms or visual change, we can work from a measurable baseline.
We have yet to meet a person who has found their DEXA data to be anything but useful. Regardless of your goal, objective data is always a better coach than guesswork.
For some, a DEXA scan helps track muscle retention during injury recovery.
For others, it ensures weight loss – including during GLP-1-supported programmes – does not come at the expense of strength.
For many, it provides valuable insight into osteopenia or osteoporosis management.
By partnering with Scanletics, we can integrate precise measurement into your treatment plan where appropriate – creating a clearer baseline and a more targeted path forward.
A Shared Standard
We are selective about the professionals we collaborate with. Scanletics stood out for their rigour, high standards and commitment to evidence-based practice.
Their philosophy aligns closely with ours: combine expert guidance with objective data to improve outcomes.
When body composition plays a role in your recovery or long-term health strategy, we can now refer confidently to a trusted specialist.
