Has anyone had experience with Osteostrong?

Posted by lorrainelashell @lorrainelashell, Aug 9, 2025

I have osteoporosis in my arms and want to explore options to medication. A friend told me about a company with a franchisee not far from my home that claims to help strengthen bones through a special exercise program. Has anyone heard of Osteostrong or tried it?

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

@leslie2121 I have been doing osteostrong for 6 years. This year I moved from osteoporosis to osteopenia. Now I only go for 2 sessions a month.

@dvargo That’s wonderful!! Glad you have seen a big improvement- were you doing anything else to improve your bone density?
Such as drugs, weight lifting?

I amtaking bone meds and because of my extreme osteo, PT must be targeted and many exercises cannot be used. Will try these modalities for 6 -10 mos and will see how it works in conjunction with PT.

@melanieco - Do you research on this program. Check with your PTs and doctors.

I am also curious as to personal outcomes on OS, and there are just soooo many options "out there" and do not have the extra monies to just keep testing things out over and over, all of the while wasting my density away year by year....thank you everyone for your insight on this post.....

There are many references to osteostrong and comments by many. Try typing Osteostrong into the search box.

@mel001 Agree! I will add that increasing my exercise and upping the intensity and frequency of walks, strength training (done at home gym with exercises a PT gave me) this past year, I had a 10% gain in my spine!!! It's at -2.5 from -2.9 previously. So just inside osteoporosis.

I'm going to give Tymlos a try since you can start small on the dose to see if I can tolerate it. And keep up the exercising because together should be more effective. Good luck to you! I am 67 and active hiker and have young grandkids I like to chase after!

@gravity3 Hi and oh I am definitely doing that - so much so over these past 3 weeks, I am a bit overwhelmed with the immense amount of sales around most of it - so who to trust, etc.? is my main question?

I am undertaking quite a bit of research and learning more and more, and to that end, this entire group under osteroporosis has been amazing - from what i am reading about OS, I think I will take a step back on that particular option and keep it on the back burner for now, and instead looking more into "other" resistance/strength training options for now....but yes, my fingers are typing away - lol

@leslie2121 Ahhhh, well that surely gives me some hope then, as my T score is also at -2.9 for the spine and -1.6 for the neck region, so your comment surely raised some positivity for me - thank you! I walk allot at my job - laid off from prof work 2 yrs ago and working as a server, so i walk literally 5-9 miles a day just at my job 5 days a week, so that is covered i think (Lol), but i did fall off the exercise cart after COVID, so I also have a home gym and am looking specifically for something along the lines of the ONERO/StrongFit programs (based on the Australian study), or something similar that is being taught so i understand the proper techniques, and looking at a 5 pound adjustable (starting with 1 lb) weighted vest to wear for short periods daily, and well, the list goes on and on......i had thought i was taking the proper amt of calcium, but long story short i wasn't tho i do drink/eat allot of dairy naturally every day, but now also taking mk-7/vit k, and vit d, etc. also,.....so yes, the list is exhaustive, but since you (and others) have received decent results, I am going to do all that I can to get a similar result myself - thank you all for such wonderful guidance....it matters so much! 😉

@leslie2121 Oh and I will be 60 in August, and to my knowledge, this isn't genetic, so that is puzzling, but I have taken a anti=depressant for nearly 40 years, so i fear I have done to myself, as apparently that can/is a "side effect" which angers me, as I truly had no idea, but throughout the past 40 or so years, I have always been relatively active and for a long time, a self-professed gym rat, but as I said before, I feel off the wagon - lol, but still not too bad, but the daily walking is allot, so strength/high resistance training i feel is what I need to do - there are so many "bone supplements" available on line as well - geez.....just allot to take in, but I will get there - you have given me some much needed hope, and I thank you all of the way from NC here in the states! =)

Most osteoporosis occurs due to Osteoporosis and loss of hormones but not all.

@gravity3 thank you for that insight - i guess i hope so in my case, as id hate to think i did it to myself, but it is what it is regardless, since I also needed that rx since my body didn't make enough of it - ha! That said, I am taking measures this week to get ahead of it one way or another, and my current challenge is finding the "right" strength resistance protocol (in a class/gym/trainer/you tube, etc., that will be safe and ongoing to increase density - but this forum rocks and I am so very thankful for all of you on here!!!!!! =)
