Osteoporosis – Onero (TM)

Not all exercise is created equal

In fact not all exercise is effective at improving bone health. Research has demonstrated that only certain types of exercise improve bone health. Onero ^(TM) is an osteoporosis treatment based on exercise designed specifically to prevent osteoporotic fracture by stimulating bone development and preventing falls in at-risk individuals.

Our Clinic is Licensed to deliver Onero ^(TM) to our clients with or at risk of osteoporosis. Onero ^(TM) is appropriate for adults of any age wishing to reduce their risk of osteoporotic fracture.One of the great features of Onero ^(TM) is that you don’t need to exercise five days of the week. Research has found that just twice a week is enough to stimulate bone, improve muscle and help prevent falls.
