I'm doing a Liftmor program in CT at a physicial therapy site. I started in December. I wont have a dexa again for a while but I wonder how to maintain what I have achieved after Medicare might cut me off. They haven't yet but I wonder how long they'll pay.
I've gotten to a 95lb deadlift and we do pullups (assisted) squat and presses and squats with bar on back (my least favorite) We also do core and other strengthening exercises.
I'm 67, grateful I can do this but wonder about future.

@debraran
There is an Onera provider near me. Onera was developed based on the Liftmor study. Is this the program you are doing or is it something else. They told me Onera wasn’t covered by Medicare.

@debraran I am doing the same in Mpls. I am 63, not on Medicare and have to pay out of pocket. I think I can afford about 6 months, taking money out of retirement for this, but then what, I don’t know? I could lift some on my own, but not like this. I’m hoping that continuing the jumping on my own will continue to stimulate bone growth. Also wondering if I do make enough progress, if maybe a vibration plate could maintain it?
