Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

I have osteoporosis. I was referred to Osteostrong by my primary doctor. At my 7-week session, I ruptured my right shoulder rotator cuff while using the standing machine on which you pull upwards on bars with arms at your sides. I did not return to the facility and am being treated by an orthopedic surgeon with PT and injections, so far.

I did OsteoStrong for two years and I did see some improvement in my bone density numbers, but then I injured my scapular muscles on one of the machines. I had to do some pt and pain meds for a while. I think it's very important that we educate ourselves in whatever mode of healing we attempt. We need to learn the dangers as well as the benefits.

lcurr- Thank you for your reply. I have been thinking about joining OsteoStrong - but wondered about injuries. I am just recovering from a fractured tibia in my left leg and broken radius and ulna in my left arm all incurred in a bike accident. I wondered if the equipment at OsteoStrong was well monitored- as well as if the people who work there are adequately trained to prevent injuries.
