Osteoporosis is a condition where bones lose density and become fragile, raising the risk of fractures from minor falls or even everyday movements like lifting a grandchild or stepping off a curb.
It is most common in women over 50, and the risk rises sharply after menopause because estrogen (which protects bone) drops. Osteopenia, a milder form, is the early warning stage. Both are typically diagnosed with a DEXA bone density scan: a T-score of -1 to -2.5 is osteopenia, and -2.5 or lower is osteoporosis.
Why it matters:
Source: Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation.
Most primary-care physicians in Austin can order a DEXA. It is quick, painless, and uses less radiation than a chest x-ray.
The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation recommends a baseline DEXA for:
If you have already had a DEXA, bring your report to your free bone health call. Most of our members share their DEXA with us so we can track the gains session by session.
When a DEXA comes back low, most Austin physicians walk you through the same short list. Here is that list, honestly, including where we fit and where we don’t.
If you are searching for osteoporosis treatment without medication, or a natural complement to the prescription you are already on, this page will show you exactly how that works, and what results our members have verified on their follow-up DEXA scans.

Moving is good for you. But most exercise does not move the needle on bone density, because it does not produce the force a 60-year-old skeleton needs to rebuild.
Bone responds to load, not repetition. Walking, swimming, yoga, Pilates, and most gym work keep you mobile and protect your muscles, but they do not come close to the forces required to signal new bone growth. Running and jumping do, but they are also the kind of high-impact movement that many women over 50 cannot safely tolerate, especially after a fracture or with arthritic joints.
That is the gap OsteoStrong fills: the force needed to trigger bone rebuilding, delivered safely and self-directed, so a woman in her 60s or 70s never has to do anything her body cannot control.
Osteogenic loading is a specific kind of force applied to your skeleton that signals your body to rebuild bone. "Osteo" means bone. "Genic" means to create. When bone experiences a load heavy enough to slightly stress it, your body responds by laying down new bone tissue to make that part of the skeleton stronger. This is Wolff's Law, the 130-year-old principle that bone adapts to the forces placed on it.
The challenge has always been producing those forces safely in someone who cannot squat 400 pounds.
In a landmark study of adults who train with very heavy resistance (Deere et al., cited across the osteogenic-loading literature), researchers found that bone adaptation begins at approximately 4.2 multiples of body weight. Below that threshold, bone is maintained. Above it, bone density begins to rise.
For a 150-pound woman, 4.2x body weight is about 630 pounds of force. She cannot safely produce that with a barbell, a yoga block, or a weight machine.
Our four Spectrum devices (chest press, core pull, leg press, vertical lift) are robotic force plates, not weights. Instead of lifting a load, you push against a fixed, immovable resistance. The devices measure the force you produce in real time, so you only generate the load your body chooses to generate, and never a pound more. A coach is with you every session to cue posture and ramp you up gradually.
The result: a 72-year-old woman can safely produce 4x to 7x her body weight of force, typically well above her personal osteogenic threshold, in a 15-minute session. No barbells. No impact. No fall risk.
Most new members arrive nervous and leave surprised at how simple it was.
OsteoStrong is the non-pharmaceutical piece of your physician's osteoporosis plan: it adds the one thing prescriptions can't, the mechanical signal that tells bone to rebuild.
More than 100 Austin-area physicians refer patients to our centers. On your first call, we will ask you to share your DEXA report and your current treatment (if any). If you are on a prescription like alendronate, risedronate, denosumab, or an anabolic, keep taking it. If your doctor has recommended calcium and vitamin D, keep those too. OsteoStrong adds the mechanical signal your bones need to respond to what your doctor is already doing.
Some members, after sustained density gains on DEXA, have worked with their physician to taper or pause their medication. That decision is always between you and your doctor, never between you and us.
Among members who follow the weekly protocol, 8 out of 10 see measurable bone density improvements on follow-up DEXA scans. Four examples below, in their own words.
Osteoporosis back to osteopenia.
“I have gone from osteoporosis back to osteopenia. Spine +1.8%, left hip +5.4%, right hip +8.8%.”
I'm Jane Medlin and I have been a member of OsteoStrong for 18 months. I drive an hour and a half from Temple, Texas to come here every week. I just got my DEXA scan results back and I have gone from osteoporosis back to osteopenia. My spine is up 1.8%, my left hip is up 5.4%, and my right hip is up 8.8%. So I'm thrilled with the results.
Everything improved after years of decline.
“Every time I've had it, it's always gotten worse. I couldn't believe it. Everything improved.”
Hi, I'm Bonnie Johnson. And I've been coming to OsteoStrong for about three years now. I just got my bone density scan back and I improved my femoral neck by 8.7%, and everything else improved. Every time I've had it, it's always gotten worse. So when I got this report, I couldn't believe it. Everything improved. So I am so happy. Thanks, OsteoStrong.
From osteopenia for 15 years to normal.
“I didn't think I would ever get to normal. This place works. You got to come work it because it works and you're worth it.”
Forty-four years old, I started getting bone density tests and my bone density was going down, down, down. I was doing barbell weightlifting, walking a lot, doing the things you're supposed to do for bone density. I went on hormone therapy. None of it was making it stop. A friend told me about OsteoStrong. I've been coming for 18 months. I just had my DEXA and I'm normal. After 15 years of being osteopenic. I didn't think I would ever get to normal. This place works. You got to come work it because it works and you're worth it.
Spine and hip: completely reversed.
“In my hip and my spine, I'm completely normal. Thanks to AlgaeCal and OsteoStrong, I feel like a new person.”
Hi, my name is Kathleen and I'm here today to share the great story with you about two and a half years ago. Well, actually three years ago, I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine, my hip, and my femur. About two and a half years ago, I started AlgaeCal and OsteoStrong. I just got my DEXA results back. In my hip and my spine, I'm completely normal. My femur is osteopenia, but no longer osteoporosis. Thanks to AlgaeCal and OsteoStrong, I feel like a new person and I encourage you to do the same.
These are the women your bones can become. One DEXA at a time. The only difference between them and you is the day they walked in.

This is the life most of our osteoporosis members describe when we ask them why they stay.
No. Keep taking what your doctor prescribed. OsteoStrong isn’t a pharmaceutical: it adds the mechanical bone-loading signal that medication alone doesn’t provide, which is why more than 100 Austin-area physicians refer patients to work with us alongside their prescriptions. Some members, after sustained density gains, have reduced or discontinued medications in consultation with their doctor.
Most members see their rate of bone loss slow or halt within the first year, with measurable density gains typically showing up in year two. We do not promise results in six months. We track your force output every session, so you see progress long before the next DEXA.
Sessions are self-directed. You generate force through a gentle, controlled push against a fixed resistance device, which keeps every load inside your own safe range. A certified coach is with you every session. Many of our Austin and Georgetown members started here after a fracture or a severe DEXA result. If you have recent acute injuries, we will coordinate with your physician before your first session.
A regular gym trains muscles. OsteoStrong trains bone. Research suggests bone rebuilds when it receives roughly 4.2 times your body weight in force, a level you cannot produce safely with free weights or standard machines. Our four spectrum devices let a woman in her 60s produce those forces safely in a 15-minute session, once a week. No cardio, no locker rooms, no workouts.
Yes. Postmenopausal women are the population for whom osteogenic loading has been most studied, and they are the majority of our members. Because the force is self-generated, a postmenopausal woman in her 70s gets the signal her skeleton needs without risking a fall, impact injury, or over-loading a joint.
The Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation recommends baseline DEXA for all women at age 65, and earlier (often at menopause) for women with risk factors: family history of osteoporosis, early menopause, smoking history, long-term steroid use, low body weight, or a prior fragility fracture. Ask your physician; most primary-care doctors in Austin can order a DEXA.
For some women, yes: physicians sometimes recommend starting with exercise, nutrition, and fall prevention, especially for osteopenia or milder bone loss. Other women need medication, and that is a decision for you and your doctor. OsteoStrong works either way: it adds the bone-loading stimulus that neither pills nor walking provide, whether or not you are on a prescription.
OsteoStrong is drug-free and non-invasive: you produce the force with your own body, and your skeleton responds the way it was designed to. Many members choose us as the holistic piece of their bone health plan, alongside nutrition, vitamin D, and their physician’s care. We aren’t a pharmaceutical, and we never ask you to stop a medication your doctor prescribed.
