My Echolight experience

I do like it. Note that it’s a 3-hour drive round trip for me to get to an OsteoStrong, and I’m willing to do that in hopes it will help. I don’t do that drive in winter tho. But once a week for 8 months. I have had another DEXA or EchoLight to measure my progress. Hopeful.

I too lift, with a trainer, and almost as heavy as I can (70-80% max), with fewer reps (5-6), in order to avoid wearing down my soft tissue (tendons, ligaments) that I no longer have the hormones to support. I use a vibration plate whenever it’s working at the gym. I’m fortunate in that my scores are borderline (-2.5) on DEXA, and EchoLight show strong bones, so I’m less worried about fracture from jumping, twisting, and heavy work. Everyone, be careful!

I too drive 3 hours a week for my OsteoStrong sessions. My early DEXA was improved after 3 months and my labs improved after 6. I am coming up on 1st year anniversary and my posture so much improved! I am anxious for my next DEXA or REMS.
