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?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Are you still in the program and happy with it?

Yes, I’m in year 3. My bone density tests have shown improvement each time. I take calcium and d3 and am definitely stronger than when I started. I won’t take any osteoporosis drugs.
Good luck to you

I have been going to osteostrong for a year. There is only one franchise in my area (Los Angeles) that has an agreement with the united healthcare renew program; so it's covered for me. However, I am not sure it's doing any good? I did maintain my dexa scores, so who knows? I am also doing a lot more exercise, strength training. I was hoping it would improve my posture/kyphosis and unfortunately even though they said it would help it hasn't.

I just had a phone call with them yesterday. $147 per month 1x per week. They have a la cart (additional therapy options) didn't sign up, reading a lot cons to pros and no scientific proof. So on the fence at this minute.

I have been going to OsteoStrong for about 18 months and am very pleased. I think the price is very reasonable for a one on one coach and treatment. My Dexa scan shows maintaining my bone mass which I am very pleased about. As long as I can stay where I am at I think it is a win! And I think the new research is very clear that this is a reasonable treatment for bone loss.

This is a recent research study on Osteostrong.

This appears to be an article that cites why this Canadian health organization cannot support osteostrong.

I have been going for 5 years and my dexa has improved. I did some research and if you go to the NIH website it has a study that Osteostrong improved Tubercular Bone Scores.
