The Science Behind OsteoStrong®
Improve your overall health by focusing on the one thing we all have in common: a skeletal system.
OsteoStrong® is a membership-based Integrative Health and Wellness Center with a focus on Musculoskeletal Strengthening.
The four device circuit takes only ten minutes once per week to complete. Under the direction of a skilled technician, users engage in a safe controlled movement on each device that results in a stimulus to the central nervous system triggering osteogenesis or new bone growth. Each device provides instant biofeedback with a member’s impact emulation force exertion measured in pounds and multiples of body weight. Data is recorded and a report is sent to the member detailing their progress at the conclusion of each session.
Bisphosphonates are generally the first line of defense for patients diagnosed with osteoporosis. Unfortunately, the risk of side effects can make this a complicated decision. Until now there were few exercise-based non-pharmaceutical options that offered significant increases in bone density in a safe manner for even the most high-risk patients. OsteoStrong offers a highly effective, evidence-based musculoskeletal strengthening program that can be used to compliment pharmaceutical treatment and as a preventative protocol.
OsteoStrong® is a 10 minute session once per week.
Regular analysis confirms the OsteoStrong® method’s success.
Why It Works
One in two women over age 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, and men over 50 are more likely to break a bone due to osteoporosis than he is to getting prostate cancer.
As adults, impact becomes associated with injury therefore adults intentionally avoid impact and thus even those who engage in exercise often fail to maintain bone health. OsteoStrong utilizes a series of robotic musculoskeletal treatment devices utilizing high impact emulation, so that people can get the benefit of impact without the associated risks, providing a physical medicine option that has no side effects.
The greatest effect on bone strength and health is the result of high-impact activity, and many studies have confirmed this, even identifying the minimum dose of force required through bone as being over 4 times bodyweight in the hip joint.
Benefits of OsteoStrong®
Fight Osteoporosis
The term osteoporosis means “porous bone.” When viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a tightly formed honeycomb. When osteoporosis occurs, those holes and spaces have become much more extensive, indicating a loss of density that makes them both more fragile and susceptible to injury. OsteoStrong can help prevent and even reverse the negative effects of osteoporosis.
Improve Performance
OsteoStrong technology has been shown to trigger bone density growth, but why does this matter to an athlete? Other than protection from fractures, skeletal strengthening in many cases eliminates limitations to plateaus and muscle growth. As many have seen with OsteoStrong, bone density can be brought to levels more than two standard deviations above what is considered to be normal. This means your body has a more powerful frame, which will allow more muscular engagement and thereby more muscular strength and power.
Improve Balance
One of the symptoms of declining musculoskeletal strength is a loss of balance. Because you engage your central nervous system and entire musculoskeletal system in a brief but very unique way at OsteoStrong, one of the benefits is an almost instant improvement in balance and agility. In fact, it’s one of the first things that people notice.
Manage Diabetes
There are multiple, well-proven and safe approaches to treating type II diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. Fortunately, these different approaches can be used individually, or in conjunction with one another. When viewed as single therapies however, it is OsteoStrong that performs the best compared to the other standards of care in the reduction of HbA1c (long term blood glucose measures).
Improve Posture
Dramatic improvements can happen quickly at all ages with regular OsteoStrong sessions. Members have experienced a significant improvement in posture in less than 8 sessions (2-months). Many others see similar results because of the unique yet simple way that OsteoStrong sessions engage the entire musculoskeletal chain.
Improve Bone Strength
Nearly 52 million Americans suffer from Osteopenia, or low bone density, which can cause serious health issues and lower overall quality of life. At age 30, we begin to lose bone density if we don’t get enough exercise, calcium and vitamin D. OsteoStrong is designed to improve your bone strength, which will allow you to stay active, and avoid and manage disease.
