OsteoStrong Boca is a health and wellness center focused on improving bone density, strength, balance, and overall skeletal strength using osteogenic loading. They offer weekly sessions that easily fit into the busiest schedules.
Scientists have known for decades that your body has natural adaptive responses that can turn on the ability to build bone and muscle strength at any age. Creating the right environment for these natural adaptations to occur safely has been challenging until now.
OsteoStrong provides the body with various stimuli that help trigger bone growth and strengthening. It is a scientifically designed, time efficient and non-invasive way to strengthen the entire musculoskeletal system. Unlike high impact weight training, the sessions last just 15 minutes once a week and are geared towards all fitness levels. The specialized equipment (think of typical weight machines but without the plate stacks) is engineered to place optimal pressure on bones, encouraging osteogenic loading while avoiding injury.
The primary benefit of osteogenic loading is increased bone density, which can dramatically reduce the risk of fractures and other bone related health conditions, such as osteoporosis. In addition to bone health, regular OsteoStrong sessions can also improve balance, posture and overall physical performance.
Adding OsteoStrong to a fitness routine can combat neural inhibition, a condition that weakens muscles after age 30, leading to sarcopenia and dynapenia. It can also help prevent a common type of hip fracture that often occurs due to falls or other traumas.
When looked at under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a tightly formed honeycomb. When osteoporosis develops, the holes and spaces within the bone become much more extensive, causing it to be far more fragile and susceptible to fractures. OsteoStrong works to stimulate the bone remodeling process to increase density, and regular sessions can even reverse a loss of density.
In addition to improved bone density, the muscles and tendons that are strengthened with OsteoStrong also improve balance, posture and physical performance. This can significantly improve the quality of life and allow individuals to enjoy a greater range of activities, reducing the need for pain medications and extending the lifespan of joints.
Strong, healthy muscles are also essential for maintaining metabolic health, reducing insulin resistance, improving glucose regulation and lowering blood pressure. This is because muscle tissue is a key factor in the production of glucose and metabolites. Regular OsteoStrong and X3 Bar sessions can maximize muscle strength gains, bolster metabolic health and promote longer, healthier lifespans. This is an important preventative measure to protect against the growing incidence of chronic diseases, including heart disease, diabetes and obesity.
Bone Density
Bone health is often overlooked as a health concern, particularly for young adults, under the false belief that bone disease only presents in later life. Yet, the skeleton is a critical system in support of the body and a key to maintaining strength, posture and balance throughout the lifespan.
OsteoStrong focuses on optimizing bone density in a non-pharmaceutical way by using the science of osteogenic loading, placing loads onto bones to stimulate the natural growth and strengthening processes. These short, once-a-week sessions use specialized equipment that places axial pressure on the bones and replicates the effects of impact, without the risk of injury. This equipment is called the Spectrum System and has been developed by the father of osteogenic loading, Dr. John Jaquish.
Using this technology, it is possible to create peak forces through the bones that are 4.2 times their own weight, as opposed to the typical high-impact training that achieves peaks that are only 1-2 multiples of body weight. This type of loading is known to reduce bone loss, strengthen the skeletal structure and improve balance.
As a result, participants experience improved balance and posture, reduced back and joint pain and increased bone density. In fact, it is not unusual for a bone density scan to show bone density increases within six to twelve months from the start of regular sessions.
In addition, a number of studies have shown that people who regularly participate in OsteoStrong have improved balance and are more stable and confident on their feet, which helps to prevent falls and injuries. This is especially important for older individuals, who are at greater risk of osteoporotic fractures and other health problems that can be caused by poor balance and weak skeletal structures.
With sedentary lifestyles, reduced sun exposure affecting vitamin D levels and diets higher in oxalates, phytates and gluten, it is crucial that all individuals prioritize their bone health to improve the quality of their lives. The OsteoStrong program is a cost-effective and convenient way to increase bone density, improve balance and enhance the strength and performance of the musculoskeletal system.
Posture
Many OsteoStrong members report better posture and a more balanced gait following just a few sessions. This is due to the strengthening of the entire musculoskeletal system- the muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules and fascia. This increased strength leads to the reversal of the spinal curvatures and postural abnormalities caused by osteoporosis as well as improved balance.
Posture improvements are also due to the osteogenic loading of the bones which strengthens all the tendons, ligaments and cartilage that support the joints. These stronger connective tissues help keep the shoulder blades back and head up- the key to good posture. Many OsteoStrong members who previously experienced pain or stiffness from poor posture experience significant relief in just a few weeks.
Unlike other health solutions, OsteoStrong is a bio hack that targets the one thing everyone has in common- a skeletal system. It triggers the body’s natural bone remodeling process and improves posture, energy, balance and skeletal strength with just 60 seconds of sweat-free effort a week.
OsteoStrong uses four pieces of proprietary equipment – picture typical weight machines but without the plate stacks – to stimulate measurable bone growth, with each machine focusing on a different area of the skeleton. It is an ideal exercise for those with arthritis, chronic back pain or who are at risk of fractures and osteoporosis.
During each session, the Spectrum system measures how much force is being applied on the bone and then delivers just the right amount of force to spur measurable growth. It’s the most powerful, safe and effective way to strengthen your bones and improve your quality of life.
Marie loves coming to OsteoStrong for her weekly sessions and she feels like the staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. She especially enjoys the HydroMassage and the Bio-Charger which she says is similar to a “power shower massage without getting wet.” Her main reason for coming to OsteoStrong is to increase her strength, balance and posture as she gets older and she feels that OsteoStrong is helping with those goals.
Balance
Whether you’re looking to enhance your bone health, improve your posture and balance or boost athletic performance, OsteoStrong can help. The center offers a variety of robotic vibration platforms that target specific bones and muscles to help you achieve your goals. The sessions typically last only 15 minutes, so they can be easily incorporated into your regular wellness routine.
Most members experience a reduction in pain within a few sessions. For those who have joint or back pain, the buildup of skeletal strength can provide immediate relief. Once the pain subsides, regular sessions can further develop the joints, bones and surrounding support tissue to prevent its return.
Increased skeletal strength and balanced mobility can help to reduce the risk of falls, which are a major cause of fractures in older adults. Using osteogenic loading, our machines replicate impact to trigger the body’s natural bone remodeling process. This increases bone density, strengthens muscles (but does not increase size), thickens tendons and ligaments for better joint stability and boosts balance and posture.
We use a technology called Spectrum, created by the “father of osteogenic loading,” Dr. John Jaquish. The machine’s unique design delivers a specific pattern of vibration that stimulates the bone-forming cells and is clinically proven to improve balance, mobility and posture. This system is safe and effective for all ages.
While it may take up to 6-12 months for your DXA scan to show increases in bone density, most people notice significant improvements in balance and coordination immediately. This is due to the fact that each session engages your central nervous system and entire musculoskeletal system in a very brief but unique way.
Joyce is very happy with the progress she’s made at OsteoStrong. She says her balance is much improved and she feels stronger overall. Her back feels better, and her golf swing is also improving. She is happy that she found this health center and wants to stay in good shape to enjoy life for years to come.
