Onerno -exercise based program PROVEN to work !

to wynn00001
You are doing a necessary work by spreading this information and hope that it will give results soon in the US. I am thinking how to do it in Europe. How one can motivate clinics and physios?
Here in Spain, they have a long waiting list of other clients and impossible to imagine that they will put efforts in something new.

Thanks. I'm in Canada and sadly we have no one offering Onero here. I have to say my efforts haven't yielded much so far, but I've just drafted an email to the CEO of the exercise clinic franchise that I regularly use. She's very interested in "exercise as therapy", so, fingers crossed!

@debkincaid - I went to the Somerset NJ , to view the program and talk with Claudia Tomas. She is a very smart, dedicated and motivated women with lots of education behind her and she’s still training. Currently to become a Nurse Practitioner as that she says is the last degree she’d need to achieve her dream of opening a facility for osteoporosis. We discussed where I was at, I brought pertinent records with me , DEXA’s , my X-ray and MRI reports of my L -1 fractured , she looked at the supplements I was using and she did an assessment of sorts to see what ROM range of motion I had in certain joints and what my level of strength was. Discussed how to breathe correctly as you exercise and did a bit of that while doing push ups, etc. Gave me a few exercises to do to improve a few things . After that I observed the Onero class in session. It’s based on 4 exercises that I’m not going to share here cause even Belinda Beck didn’t because she didn’t want people to start doing them on their own without supervision. But the theory is you begin where you are at with your level of strength and slowly the resistance used goes up and becomes quite heavy- what you can handle. . The exercises are done for 5 reps , 5 sets . The class size was about 6-7 people and Claudia and another professional was constantly guarding and watching for proper position of the back and breathing so no one was attempting the exercises in an unsafe manner. Claudia also has beefed up the program and has added other resistance type exercises and balance to augment the basic Onero program.
It was worth it to me to make the trip to see it with my own eyes. I’m very glad I went!!! Hope that helps!!!

I've had very good results with a physio who specialises in bone health. Recommended by my GP.
I 'm 76 (menopause at 41) and now doing 24K kettlebell squats in the gym ( Not sure where this one ends!) Plus increasing weights on the leg press. Will have to take anastrozole for at least three more years- a drug very bad for bones, but there seems to be no other choice. I had an aggressive grade 3 hormone-fed breast cancer.

I watched that interview too, and was very inspired. I'd heard about the LIFTMOR trials, but, until the that interview, didn't realize that there is a certification program which PTs and other professionals can complete. There isn't a certified trainer/clinic anywhere near me. I live in a somewhat rural area. Even so, our clinic is actually quite amazing, and the PT department is well known in the area. They're currently expanding the department and putting in a huge gym. They may be open to the idea of certifying in Onera, I'm going to reach out to them about it.

@freckle1 - maybe you could share where in the world you live in case someone could see that physio too. But maybe you don’t want to divulge that, if so , no problem!!! Good for you!!!!

Brisbane Australia. Happy to share if anyone's interested. The gym is in the Valley. (It's well ventilated but no air con. I don't want aircon anyway because of covid risk. It has been a bit of a slog in the summer heat and humidity.) The physio does practise at another gym which has air con.

Can people who already have severe osteoporosis participate in this program?
