Muscle & Functional Health
Because strength, balance and movement are key to long-term health.
Because strength, balance and movement are key to long-term health.
Muscle mass isn’t just for performance. It plays a critical role in metabolic health, hormone balance, injury prevention and longevity. At EHS, we assess strength, composition, and mobility through a series of detailed scans and physical tests. From detecting muscle loss and imbalance to evaluating your flexibility and physical function, these tests give you a clear view of how your body moves and adapts and how to keep it strong. Our medical advisory panel has selected these assessments for their ability to highlight risk areas early and support tailored interventions.

Why does this matter?
Loss of muscle strength and function is one of the strongest predictors of declining health, reduced mobility, and loss of independence as we age. But caught early, these changes are highly manageable. Investing in your strength now doesn’t just help you move better today, it supports healthier ageing and real longevity grounded in science, not social media trends.
