Osteoporosis is a serious medical condition that causes fragility and a high risk of bone fractures. It also carries heavy health care costs.
At OsteoStrong we engage your central nervous and musculoskeletal system in a brief session that triggers osteogenesis, resulting in dramatic improvements in balance, posture, power, and physical strength. Contact OsteoStrong Ridgeland now!
OsteoStrong is a membership-based integrative health and wellness center that has developed a unique technology to naturally strengthen the entire musculoskeletal system, including bones, muscles, balance and posture, without pain, sweat or fatigue. It takes just ten minutes, once a week to complete their four device circuit under the guidance of a skilled technician. Their equipment uses impact emulation to signal the body to trigger osteogenesis or new bone growth. Instant biofeedback on each device measures the amount of force exerted through your bones, with results being reported immediately at the end of your session.
Bone density has a dramatic effect on the body’s ability to protect itself from fracture and injury. Osteoporosis occurs when your bones become porous and brittle, which makes them more fragile and susceptible to breaking. When you have more dense bones, your body is able to handle more load which increases muscle strength and endurance.
In this podcast episode, we interview OsteoStrong founder and inventor, John Jaquish to learn more about the science behind the amazing musculoskeletal strengthening technology found in their studios.
He is also the author of the book, “Osteogenic Loading”. OsteoStrong is an exciting advancement in bone and muscle building technology that has been shown to increase bone density, strengthen muscles, improve balance and posture. It’s a great way to help prevent and alleviate back, joint, neck and shoulder pain as well as many other musculoskeletal conditions and injuries.
OsteoStrong was founded after John’s mother, a lifelong athlete, was diagnosed with osteoporosis and was told she could no longer participate in the activities she loved. He set out to develop the technology to enable people of all ages and fitness levels to safely stimulate bone density and muscle strength, with a simple session once per week.
He has since discovered that his OsteoStrong sessions can also be used to prevent and reverse joint pain and muscle weakness, which is why so many members find relief within their first 12 to 18 sessions. They can also see improvement in their DEXA (bone density) scan results – Ellen’s recent spine and femur DEXA scans showed a 4% increase in her hip and spine BMD, moving her out of the osteopenic range.
Increased Muscle Strength
While osteoporosis is often the primary concern, building skeletal strength and avoiding musculoskeletal problems in general can improve posture, balance and energy. Many of these benefits build over time as people do sessions consistently. This is why many clients experience results they can see and feel, like improved balance and increased skeletal strength, long after their sessions at OsteoStrong have ended.
The skeletal system is the foundation of your body and when you strengthen it, you can achieve more in life than just preventing osteoporosis. OsteoStrong’s science-backed modalities target the deep into the bones to stimulate bone growth and recovery. Many clients see improvements in posture, strength, balance and energy. Others report reduced joint pain, lower HbA1c and even better sleep.
Unlike conventional exercise, OsteoStrong uses a proprietary technology to deliver low impact emulation of high impact force in order to trigger your body’s own adaptive response that builds bone and muscle without harming joints. This is called osteogenic loading. The modalities are easy to use, non-impact and require only a few short minutes of effort per session.
A recent study comparing OsteoStrong with conventional exercise for bone health showed that participants who participated in two 30-minute OsteoStrong sessions each week for nine months had significantly greater bone strength than those who only trained on traditional equipment. The researchers measured bone density using a DXA scan, and also measured the changes in muscle, balance and coordination.
In addition, OsteoStrong has been shown to improve musculoskeletal health in people with chronic diseases and conditions, such as COPD, heart disease and diabetes. In a recent clinical trial, women with premenopausal osteopenia and osteoporosis who did OsteoStrong sessions for nine months had stronger bones and less vertebral fractures than those in a control group who only did supervised resistance training.
While most insurance does not cover OsteoStrong, medical savings accounts and HSA flex spending can sometimes be used to help offset costs. It is best to commit to a monthly membership to ensure consistency and maximum bone-density and muscle strength gains. However, most members begin to see positive changes in their skeletal strength after just one or two sessions, so it is never too late to start.
Improved Posture
As people age, their bones get weaker and their posture gets worse. Taking steps to improve one’s posture can help reduce back pain and other health problems. Fortunately, it’s possible to achieve dramatic posture improvements through regular exercise. One such exercise is the OsteoStrong program, a skeleton-strengthening wellness center that uses robotic musculoskeletal strength training to help patients strengthen their spines and muscles.
When individuals attend OsteoStrong sessions, they experience a rapid improvement in their core muscle and postural strength. The results also translate to improved balance and agility.
In addition to offering posture improvements, the wellness center also provides a range of educational resources and one-on-one sessions with professionals that can teach individuals how to correct their posture. This can be particularly beneficial for those who have poor posture and need to make lifestyle changes to improve their condition.
Having good posture is vital for healthy living, as it helps individuals maintain their mobility and reduces the risk of falls that lead to fractures and other bone-related health problems. Poor posture can also result in strained muscles and a decreased range of motion, which can cause pain and discomfort.
One of the primary reasons why OsteoStrong is so effective at improving posture is because it’s designed to address both the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. The sessions are designed to provide a powerful stimulus that promotes growth in the bones and muscles without causing excessive fatigue or stress on the joints. This approach is different from other resistance training exercises, which can be hard on the joints and can lead to overtraining or injury.
The intense forces that are used in OsteoStrong sessions stimulate a series of positive adaptations throughout the body. They not only strengthen the bones and muscles, but also reduce neural inhibition. This allows athletes to utilize a greater proportion of their muscular strength during competition.
Marie joined OsteoStrong a few months ago after seeing an advertisement for the wellness center in her local newspaper. She’s happy to report that she is experiencing improved balance, and her back pain has disappeared. She enjoys attending the weekly sessions, and she likes that the coaches are on hand during each session to offer guidance and motivation.
Better Balance
Maintaining bone and muscle strength is vital not only to our independence as we age but also for avoiding falls and injuries. Such injuries can have serious health and financial consequences, as demonstrated by the startling statistics of fall-related hip fractures and other musculoskeletal conditions that impact our quality of life as we age. As a preventative health strategy, incorporating OsteoStrong into one’s weekly routine is highly effective and will significantly reduce the risk of such injuries.
One of the most significant benefits our members experience is enhanced balance. Because our sessions are so short, they engage the entire musculoskeletal system and evoke almost instant improvements in balance, coordination and reflex speed. This helps to dramatically reduce the risk of falls, which are a major cause of injury in people over the age of 60.
OsteoStrong is a scientifically proven and clinically validated solution to increase bone density, muscle strength and improve balance, posture, agility and athletic performance without surgery, pills or gym time. Our proprietary technology, known as the Spectrum System, utilizes a new class of robotic devices designed to enhance muscle engagement. These devices are built using the patented Osteogenic Loading concept and invented by the “Father of Osteogenic Loading.”
Each device in our facility (picture typical weight machines with no plate stacks) provides unique forces on your body and skeleton to stimulate measurable bone growth. The load applied by our equipment is higher than that of traditional weight training and daily activities, but it is safe to perform due to the precision of our technology.
In addition to building bone density, OsteoStrong increases muscle strength, improves balance, agility and overall physical performance and decreases joint and back pain. Many clients report that they feel stronger after just a few sessions of OsteoStrong, and the results continue to build as regular sessions are maintained. Adding OsteoStrong to a client’s lifestyle is easy and will have an immediate and lasting positive impact on their health and wellbeing. Our members experience improved balance, bone health and a more active and healthy lifestyle.
