Both locations are equipped with advanced DEXA technology to provide you with accurate insights into your body composition and bone health.

While we don’t currently have a physical location in Nanaimo, we proudly serve clients from all over Vancouver Island who travel for the gold-standard DEXA scans that only Bodycomp Imaging can deliver.

Shaun Golemba

I was super impressed with this service. I was in Vancouver for a concert and was able to easily book online. It was an easy commute from Downtown on the SkyTrain with a short walk. I was greeted be the guy at the front desk and instantly was lead into the examination room. The technician was very friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and showed me how to download the report. He recommended a follow up appointment in six months, which is what I was planning for myself. As luck would have it, I’m back in Vancouver for ...

As someone who’s needed help with getting their weight loss journey back on track, I had this place recommended by a friend and I’m so glad I did. I worked with Harmun to conduct the scan, and I found the process (along with the results) to be a really fantastic experience! It feels like unlocking a fitness cheat code to have this knowledge, and I highly recommend it to anyone who’s serious about getting their health in order!!

Two years in a row coming to see Harmun and he is amazing to work with. Very knowledgeable and personable. I am going every year now – maybe twice!
