High impact foot hop study 50 hops a day for osteoporosis

This is all so cool, I like that we are searching for things to do for our bones vs. the medication. I heard from someone about OSTEOSTRONG from a fiend, they work with the vibe plate I guess. Has anyone looked into this or is a member.

Thanks

There is a great online course by Margaret Martin. Melio Guide. It gives a lot of great info on osteoporosis along with exercises. She is a physio therapist who specializes in osteoporosis.
She has an exercise where you raise up on your toes and then drop hard on your heels. Heal drops. Also very good for improving bone density.

While I have I have added jumping and hopping without issue most of the time over the past 2 years, I have also overdone it on several occasions and ended up with knee issues, like right now....
My pt is encouraging caution with jumping, focusing on strength and stability around the joint. I will proceed cautiously and try to find my safe level, because impact seems so vital for bone health.

This is excellent. Our Pilates trainer is certified to work with osteoporosis & we use this heel drop. Also existence training is helpful.

I am also trying to incorporate jumping/hopping/ heel drops into my exercise routine. I’m cautious since I experienced 3 compression fractures 3 years ago. Recently, I bought my grandchild a ‘skip it’ from Amazon. As I was demonstrating how to use this toy, I thought it might be useful for bone building. My doctor is afraid I will trip using it, and I might; but I can do 50 jumps relatively easy. My feet barely come off the ground. I hope it is enough impact, but I’m not sure how that can be measured ( my whole weight is on one leg for the 50 jumps and then I switch to the other leg).

I also use a vibration plate that I purchased off Amazon. If nothing else, it is suppose to help your lymphatic system, but I was intrigued that NASA uses vibration plates when their astronauts return to earth. I’m constantly trying to sift through the research and select what resonates with me because the information on treating osteoporosis is all over the board.
