Why get a DEXA scan near Pinecrest instead of a gym scale?
For Pinecrest patients in their 40s and 50s, DEXA answers two questions: is your muscle mass holding, and is your bone density on track? Muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging, and one scan a year keeps both honest.
At Strong Health Miami, you get the same scan technology used in clinical research, performed at our Brickell clinic, with results you can use to track real progress on TRT, GLP-1 weight loss, peptide therapy, or your own training.
Every scan includes total and regional body fat, pound-precise lean mass by limb, visceral fat, bone density (T-score and Z-score), and left-right symmetry analysis. See the full report breakdown on the DEXA Scan Miami page, or the science behind it in our complete DEXA guide.

I turned 50 and wanted real numbers, not reassurance. The scan took fifteen minutes and gave me a spine T-score I could actually act on. I drive up US-1 from Pinecrest every January now — it's my yearly report card.
