SOZO Body Scan (BIS)
Bioimpedence Spectroscopy
LYMPHOEDEMA AND BODY COMPOSITION ANALYSIS
Early detection and prevention of Lymphoedema, Lipodoema and Oedema is vital to staying fit and healthy and speeds up the process of recovery.
Our SOZO Body Scan (BIS) machine is the only machine south of Nelson
SOZO Body Scan (BIS) is the world's most advanced tissue analysis devise. It uses non-invasive methods to detect fluid changes as small as 2.4 tablespoons and takes just 30 seconds to complete. Measurements are made by passing 256 frequencies through the body's fluid via a harmless and pain-free electrical signal.
This technology can detect Lymphoedema by up to 10 months before symptoms arise by enabling early detection of fluid accumulation. Research has shown that early detection, combined with compression therapy, can reduce the progression of Lymphoedema by 95%.
At Foveaux Therapy, patients will receive a baseline measurement before treatment commences. They are then re-tested regularly (initially at 3 monthly intervals), to check for indication of Lymphoedema requiring intervention.
