What exactly is OsteoStrong?
OsteoStrong is a unique wellness system that uses specialized technology to safely trigger your body's natural bone-building response. We're not a gym, medical treatment, or supplement—we're a bone health center that uses osteogenic loading to strengthen your skeletal system in just 10 minutes per week.
How does it work?
Our Spectrum machines create controlled, high-impact forces that stimulate bone growth through a process called osteogenic loading. This safely generates 4.2+ times your body weight in force—the minimum needed to trigger significant bone rebuilding—something conventional exercise can't achieve.
Is there scientific research behind this?
Yes. OsteoStrong is based on peer-reviewed research and uses FDA-registered technology. Multiple studies demonstrate the effectiveness of osteogenic loading for improving bone density, including research published in Osteoporosis International and other medical journals.
Is OsteoStrong safe for people with osteoporosis?
Yes. OsteoStrong was specifically designed for people with compromised bone density. Our controlled environment eliminates the risks associated with traditional high-impact exercise, making it safer than most daily activities.
What if I have other health conditions?
We work with people who have various health conditions including diabetes, arthritis, and heart conditions. However, we always recommend discussing any wellness program with your physician first, and we're happy to coordinate with your healthcare team.
Do I need to be in good shape to start?
Not at all. OsteoStrong works for people at all fitness levels. You start exactly where you are and progress gradually. Many of our most successful members had never done structured exercise before joining.
Is there an age limit?
We work with members from teenagers to people in their 90s. Bone health is important at every age, and our technology adapts to each person's capabilities.
How quickly will I see results?
Most members feel stronger and more balanced within 2-3 sessions. Measurable bone density improvements typically show on DEXA scans after 6-12 months of consistent weekly sessions.
What kind of results can I expect?
Based on our member outcomes, people regularly see 7-14% improvements in bone mineral density within 12 months. Many also experience improved balance, reduced pain, better posture, and increased overall strength.
How do I know if it's working?
We track your strength improvements at each session, and you'll likely feel stronger and more stable within weeks. The ultimate measure is follow-up DEXA scans with your physician to confirm bone density improvements.
Do results last if I stop?
Like any fitness program, consistency is important for maintaining benefits. However, the bone density you build creates a stronger foundation that provides long-term benefits even if you reduce frequency later.
What happens during a session?
Each 10-minute session involves four movements on our Spectrum machines: Upper Growth Trigger, Lower Growth Trigger, Core Growth Trigger, and Postural Growth Trigger. A certified specialist guides you through proper technique and tracks your progress.
How often do I need to come?
Just once per week. More frequent sessions don't improve results and may actually be counterproductive. Your bones need time to rebuild between sessions.
What should I wear?
Regular street clothes are perfect. No special workout attire needed. Closed-toe shoes are required for safety.
Do I need to change clothes or shower?
No. Sessions are sweat-free and don't require changing clothes or showering afterward.
How much does it cost?
We offer monthly and annual membership options with different pricing tiers. HSA/FSA accounts can be used for payments. Detailed pricing is discussed during your complimentary consultation.
Does insurance cover OsteoStrong?
Most insurance plans don't cover OsteoStrong since it's a wellness service rather than medical treatment. However, HSA and FSA accounts typically cover our services.
Do I need to sign a long-term contract?
We offer flexible membership options. While we recommend consistency for best results, we don't require lengthy contracts that lock you in.
Can I pause my membership?
Yes. We understand that travel, illness, or life circumstances may require breaks. We offer flexible pause options for members.
Should I tell my doctor about OsteoStrong?
Yes. We encourage open communication with your healthcare team and can provide information about our program to your physician.
Will this replace my osteoporosis medication?
OsteoStrong is not a medical treatment and doesn't replace medications. Some members work with their doctors to adjust medications as their bone health improves, but that's a medical decision.
Can you work with my physical therapist?
Absolutely. We often coordinate with physical therapists and other healthcare providers to ensure our program complements your overall care.

While not 100% safe, OsteoStrong® is significantly safer than attempting high impact force. OsteoStrong® members have reported improved bone density, improved balance, improved strength, reduced joint pain, and reduced HbA1c. Results may vary. Consult your physician.
