I do not have a conclusivce comment; the jury is still out for me about Biodensity - which is the root of Osteostrong. I have been going for about six months.
I am in a clinic with a doctor that has a Biodensity machine and I go once a week for a treatment. It is actually a bit more money than what I hear Osteostrong is - BUT…it is minute by minute instruction on position, posture, shoulders down, press here, yada yada. It has convinced me that the “how” it is done is extremely important to prevent injury and to be effective - if the research is right.
The harm risk that someone mentioned comes in not being coachable when you have a trained Biodensity doctor at your side.
I know that Osteo loading can be done other ways - and it does make sense this is a good bone care idea, but again - how it is done. I would be totally fearful of doing weight lifting without a personal, knowledge trainer as well.
My doctor tells me that Osteostrong took the original Biodensity machine and made it into four different ones. You can read about the machine at Biodensity dot com - and the research there.
Another ??? in this whole mix is the dependability of the DEXA. I am leaning toward too much is put into its reading because they are telling me that more accuracy comes from the same clinic and the same clinician! This doctor uses Echolight Scan - another topic for sure.
I looked for biodensity in my area but it isn’t being offered, so I am starting Osteostrong. They do have trainers who instruct on how to use the machines properly but I wish they were physical therapists—they are not at the one I am going to.
