Why we use the Slow Start Protocol
Most people coming to OsteoStrong have never used equipment like ours before, and many worry about safety. That’s completely normal. The Slow Start Protocol was designed specifically to remove that fear and help your body adapt at its own pace. You stay safe, you build confidence quickly, and you never feel rushed or overwhelmed. With 65,000+ users worldwide and zero adverse events, this protocol is a key reason OsteoStrong has an exceptional safety record and over 100 referring physicians trust us with their patients.

The coaches are extremely helpful and understanding of my needs. They go above and beyond.

How it works
During your first sessions, your certified coach works with you one-on-one in a calm, appointment-based setting. You control every movement on all four machines. Nothing moves unless you move. We focus on proper alignment, comfort, and building your confidence with each device. The goal is to teach your body the osteogenic loading signal - not push intensity. You progress only when you feel ready. Each session takes just 15 minutes, and your body continues responding to the signal for 7 to 10 days afterward, which is why once a week is all it takes.

What you can expect
Slow, steady increases in strength that compound over time. A longitudinal study of 500 participants showed strength gains of 73% after year one, 138% after year two, 201% after year three, and 290% after year four. You’ll receive weekly progress reports tracking your grip strength, balance, and leg strength. Many members notice improved balance and stability within the first few weeks. You never have to be strong to start - you get strong because you start gently.

Why it works so well
Your nervous system adapts quickly when guided with care. By easing in, you create better long-term results, better consistency, and better trust in your body. The Slow Start Protocol means there is no minimum strength or fitness level required - members in their 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and beyond all start here. Your coach personalizes your experience so that every session feels comfortable and productive. This is why OsteoStrong members of all ages thrive here and why most people leave their first visit saying ‘this was so much easier than I expected.’

My name is Nicole Denison and I've been coming to OsteoStrong for three years and three years in one month, I guess. After 15 months I decided I should get a bone density test done to see whether it was really working. To my surprise, I found out that my spine no longer was osteoporotic. I improved my bone density by 12.8%, and my hip had improved by 10.5%, and the femoral neck had improved by 8.8%. So anyway, I can highly recommend OsteoStrong for helping me to overcome the osteoporosis. Thank you very much.

MarjorieAustin · 18 months · Bone density now normal after 15 years osteopeniaRead the full transcript
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.
Everything improved after years of decline.

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.

KathleenAustin · 2.5 years · Spine and hip: osteoporosis reversed to normalRead the full transcript
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.
