DEXA, Function & MSK Health in the GLP-1 Era Webinar
4 November @ 8:30 pm - 9:30 pm AEDT
Free - $99.00
GLP-1 medications are reshaping weight management, but changes in body weight alone do not tell the full musculoskeletal story.
This webinar explores how DEXA body composition analysis, functional assessment and lifestyle screening can be combined in chiropractic clinical practice to identify changes in muscle, bone, fat distribution and physical capacity.
Using a practical Screen–Confirm–Act approach, Dr Carl Thistlethwayte will demonstrate how DEXA measures such as appendicular lean mass, visceral adipose tissue and bone mineral density can be interpreted alongside grip strength, sit-to-stand testing, functional performance and lifestyle factors to support monitoring, patient education, health behavioural change and multidisciplinary care.
Time: 8:30pm – 9:30pm AEDT
Registrations close Wednesday 4 November 2026 at 7:30pm AEDT.
