BJC Programs

BJC Body Composition testing Body Composition Testing

DEXA (dual energy x-ray absorptiometry) scans are the gold standard of body composition assessments. By measuring precise percentages of body fat, bone, muscle and water in the body, our DEXA scans are a highly-effective way to track your weight management progress and suggest certain disease risk-reducing interventions you may benefit from.

BJC Bone Density testing Bone Density Testing

We offer the most accurate, non-invasive bone mineral testing thanks to our Lunar Prodigy Bone Densitometer (a machine that produces high-quality DEXA scans). DEXA scans produce a minimal amount of radiation and are superb for monitoring osteoporosis and any fractures that may have unknowingly occurred.

Falls_sMA.jpg Work Injury

Our work injury cover assessments include a comprehensive initial assessment and report followed by a comprehensive final assessment and report. All functional assessments are performed by our Physiotherapists. We include recommendations on the clients ability return to work and their suitability to upgrade work duties. Strict screening process is provided relating to areas of injury, general health, mental function and work limitations.

RPP.jpg Refracture Prevention

It is well recognised that people who suffer an osteoporotic fracture (minimal trauma fracture) are then at a greatly increased risk of getting further fractures. These patients often present at an hospital emergency room and are treated with surgery or a splint. When the fracture has been set, they are then often just allowed home. The possibility of osteoporosis is not thought of or investigated for, and therefore, not treated.

02 (5).jpg Falls Risk Prevention

At BJC Health, our physiotherapists & exercise therapists are trained to assess gait stability and falls risk. After an initial assessment, they will then design a program to reduce this falls risk by improving your balance, mechanics of walking, increasing lower limb strength and the use of walking aids when appropriate.
