Aylesbury among first towns to use new women's health technology

Aylesbury is one of the first towns in the UK to offer Mi~Scan® and Mi~Score®, which conduct personalised breast density scanning and breast cancer risk assessment.

This new technology is set to be used going forward at Armstrong Sports Therapy, located at the Archway Academy in Aylesbury.

Ellyse Armstrong, a recently qualified sports therapist and founder of Armstrong Sports Therapy, said: “Understanding your breast density and personal risk is an important part of women’s health at any age. Mi~Scan® and Mi~Score® give women clarity and confidence about their own bodies, whether they’re before, during, or after screening age.”

Ellyse’s clinic’s treatment rooms are former jail cells that have been transformed for sports therapy. She added: “This technology is about more than scans - it’s about giving women the insight they need to take control of their health. This launch represents an important step forward in empowering women locally.”

The NHS advises that you may have a greater chance of getting breast cancer if you have a higher density. Armstrong Sports Therapy says that many women are unaware of their density because standard screening does not always provide this information. It says that the information Mi~Scan® gives is a personalised density score, while Mi~Score® provides a tailored breast cancer risk assessment, providing women with actionable knowledge.

Armstrong Sports Therapy advises that the technology is available to women of all ages.
