How ONERO Works: From Diagnosis to Sustained Strength

A diagnosis of osteopenia or osteoporosis can be scary. The word "fragile" might come to mind, and suddenly, the activities you love—like your daily walk, playing with your grandkids, or even just navigating your home are overshadowed by a fear of falling. You worry about your independence and what a simple misstep could mean.

You may have been told to start weight training, but the thought of going to a gym and not knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming and even a little intimidating. You may also have specific health concerns or a preference for non-medicated solutions, adding another layer of complexity to an already confusing situation.

Step 1: Comprehensive Assessment

First, you'll undergo a comprehensive evaluation. This includes a physical therapy assessment, a nutrition assessment, and in-depth education about osteoporosis. This step ensures the program is a safe and effective fit for you, and we'll address any questions or concerns you have.

• Comprehensive Physical Therapy Assessment: We'll start with a one-on-one assessment to understand your unique needs, movement patterns, and any specific concerns. This ensures your program is tailored for your safety and success.

• Personalized Nutrition Review: We'll discuss how your nutrition can best support your bone health. You'll receive practical advice to help you build a strong foundation from the inside out.

• In-Depth Education: We'll take the time to answer all your questions about your diagnosis and clear up any conflicting information you may have encountered. Our goal is to empower you with the knowledge you need to feel confident.

Step 2: Foundational Training

Next, you'll begin the program, learning the movements with little to no weight. This foundational phase allows you to get comfortable with the exercises and the class flow before adding resistance.

• Start with the Basics: We'll begin by guiding you through each movement using little to no weight. This helps you master the correct form and feel confident in every exercise.

• Learn the Flow: You'll get comfortable with the pace and structure of the class, allowing you to focus on your body and your movements without feeling rushed.

• Prepare for Progression: This foundational phase sets you up for success. We'll make sure you're ready to safely and effectively add resistance as you build strength and confidence.

Step 3: Building Strength

As you progress, you'll start to increase your resistance, lifting heavier weights to build both bone and muscle strength. This is where you'll see tangible improvements in your physical capabilities. The class is specifically designed to apply the right amount of stress to your bones, stimulating new bone growth while strengthening the muscles that support your joints.

• Increase Your Resistance: As you get stronger, you'll begin to lift heavier weights in a safe and controlled environment. This is the key to building the bone and muscle strength you need.

• Tangible Progress: You'll start to feel and see real improvements in your physical capabilities. Everyday tasks may feel easier and you'll feel more confident in your body.

• Stimulate Bone Growth: The exercises are specifically designed to apply the right amount of stress to your bones, which helps to stimulate new growth. At the same time, we'll strengthen the muscles that support your joints, providing even greater protection and stability.

Step 4: Community and Support

You'll also become part of a supportive community, sharing knowledge and experiences with classmates who are on a similar journey. This peer support helps you stay motivated and confident. Our classes create a positive and empowering environment where you can learn from each other and celebrate every milestone, big or small.

• Join a Supportive Community: You'll connect with a group of women who are on the same journey. Sharing experiences and insights with your classmates can make you feel more confident and less alone.

• Stay Motivated and Empowered: Our classes are more than just exercises; they're a positive and empowering environment. The support from your peers helps you stay motivated and focused on your goals.

• Celebrate Every Milestone: You'll have the chance to celebrate every success, big or small, with a community that truly understands your journey.

Step 5: Tracking and Reassessing Progress

Finally, you'll receive annual DEXA scans  to monitor your bone density and T-scores. We'll also retest and reassess the measures captured during your initial evaluation, providing a clear picture of your overall improvement.

• Annual DEXA Scans: We'll use annual DEXA scans to track changes in your bone density and T-scores. This provides a clear, measurable picture of your progress.

• Regular Reassessment: Performed every 3 months

• Clear Picture of Success: By comparing your starting point to your progress, you'll be able to see the tangible results of your hard work and dedication.

Step 6: Sustained Success

With your improved bone strength and increased confidence, you'll continue with the program, now with the ability to enjoy your favorite sports and daily activities with peace of mind. You've achieved your goal of a stronger, more resilient body.

• Enjoy Your Favorite Activities: With your newfound strength and confidence, you'll be able to get back to the sports and daily activities you love, without the constant worry of a fall or fracture.

• Live with Peace of Mind: Your stronger, more resilient body will give you the peace of mind to live your life to the fullest, knowing you've taken control of your bone health.

• Maintain Your Progress: You'll have the tools and knowledge to continue the program and maintain your incredible progress, ensuring a lifetime of strength and independence.
