Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?
Has anyone had experience with OsteoStrong? It suggests you will get a large increase in bone density while using their facility 10 minutes per WEEK. Somewhat pricey at $99 and up per month, but am curious if anyone who is NOT a franchisee, has experienced this program?

I went to OsteoStrong for three years. I’m 72. My last DEXA scan was still in the positive. My Mayo doctor said I’m the only patient in my age group whom she sees who has had no bone loss. I attribute this to weigh training on and off since age 40 and three years at OsteoStrong.

8 ReactionsI tried it for two years after my 3rd DEXA scan showed that my bone density had plateaued (it had improved between the 1st and 2nd scans). I was hoping that it would be helpful, but my 4th DEXA scan showed otherwise. The program did not help me at all. I did the four machines every week for two years.

2 ReactionsI have been going for about 1 1/3 years. My results from my dexa scan were VERY good. My doctor was very impressed. But, I don’t just rely on Osteostrong. I play other sports and do some weight lifting. Not a huge amount but I guess my point is that I don’t rely on Osteostrong completely but I do credit it with very improved scores from bone density test.
Good luck to you🍀🍀

Check if your health insurance will pay for it—mine does (United Healthcare)
How long have you been with UHC insurance may I ask you?
I’ve said this before and will air my thoughts again. If you listened carefully , as I did , to Belinda Beck’s talk on a Osteoporosis Symposium earlier this year…. And as she discussed the disappointment of seeing that the Marodyne was not effective as they all thought would be bore out. I was struck when she explained some of the details of what happened during the trial made me think the end of the story has still not been reached. I think more , or another go at it may show results. I have listened to Dr. Rubin. He is humble , wants to find answers , his sister is a highly regarded Endocrinologist at one of the premier North Carolina medical schools . And the underlying science of stimulation -affecting the mesencymal cells all makes sense to me as an Occupational Therapist. I guess time will tell. I’ll be waiting. Many of the leaders teaching all of us about osteoporosis have a Marodyne .
