BIA (Body Impedance Analysis)
About This Therapy
Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) is a non-invasive, clinically validated diagnostic assessment that provides a detailed picture of your body's internal composition and metabolic health far beyond what a standard weighing scale can reveal. At Kanasu, BIA serves as a foundational tool to personalise your wellness program, ensuring every treatment recommendation is grounded in objective, measurable data about your unique physiology.
BIA works by passing a safe, imperceptible low-level electrical current through the body. Since fat, muscle, water, and bone conduct electricity at different rates, the device accurately calculates the proportion and distribution of each generating a comprehensive health snapshot that informs dietary guidance, hydration management, and therapeutic interventions.

How It Works
The assessment takes approximately 5–10 minutes and requires no preparation beyond avoiding strenuous exercise, large meals, or excessive fluid intake in the hours prior. You stand on the BIA platform or hold the device's hand electrodes or both, depending on the system while a safe electrical signal travels through your body. The device processes the resistance and reactance data in real time and generates a detailed report within minutes. Your Kanasu practitioner then walks you through the findings and uses them to shape your personalised treatment and nutrition plan.
