@babs10 correct-the staff that assist you have no particular training just helped me to do the exercises on the 4 machines correctly. A lot offered a variety of advice/opinion on nutrition etc but it wasn’t based necessarily on medical science . I’m kinda surprised my endocrinologist referred me to it tbh.

@leslie2121 Wow, your endo suggested Osteostrong?! Compared to all the other interventions with positive research evidence that they work? You may want to bring him or her a copy of the latest research paper, which was actually funded in part by OsteoStrong Australia.

We are all sad that there no good evidence that doing something once per week for 15-20 minutes is enough to fix our bones. I have another post on this forum about my experience with OS.

Here is the paper:
Feasibility, safety and efficacy of OsteoStrong® in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density: A pilot study
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S8756328225002686
EXCERPT: "These findings suggest that while OsteoStrong® may enhance aspects of physical function, it is unlikely to be effective as a standalone intervention for improving bone health in this population."

And here is a video by Dr. Doug Lucas to help make sense of this research for the rest of us.


EXCERPT: "Now we have growing evidence that maybe osteogenic loading [like OsteoStrong] isn't doing what we hope it's doing."

@leslie2121 It seems like most MDs do what's easy for them and many often don't know anything about what they are recommending. Conversely, there is little to no conversation about the importance of nutrition, including vitamins and supplements which DO have a positive impact. Many/most of us are willing to accept what they say b/c they are the "experts."
