Bones Need Exercise
“When it comes to bones we know exercise can benefit people throughout their life – by growing bigger stronger bones in childhood, improving bones throughout adulthood and preventing falls that can lead to fracture as we age.”
Professor Belinda Beck
Director, The Bone Clinic
Not all exercise is created equal
But not all exercise is effective. Research has demonstrated that only certain types of exercise improve bone health. OneroTM is an osteoporosis treatment based on exercise designed specifically to prevent osteoporotic fracture by stimulating bone development and preventing falls in at-risk individuals.
Osteoporosis Australia
To find out more about osteoporosis and OneroTM please visit the Osteoporosis Australia (OA) website. OA is Australia’s leading advocacy group for sufferers of osteoporosis and are committed to exercise for bone health. They have partnered with The Bone Clinic, the developers of OneroTM, to disseminate this effective exercise program throughout Australia. OA have a great explainer video on the OneroTM programme and how it can:
1) increase bone density;
2) strengthen muscle; and
3) reduce the risk of falls.
OneroTM and Us
To be safe and effective the program must be supervised by a physiotherapist or accredited exercise physiologist who is trained and Licensed to deliver the program. Our Clinic is now Licensed to deliver OneroTM to our clients with or at risk of osteoporosis. OneroTM is appropriate for adults of any age wishing to reduce their risk of osteoporotic fracture.
One of the great features of OneroTM is that you don’t need to exercise five days of the week. Research has found that just twice a week is enough to stimulate bone, improve muscle and help prevent falls. In fact, the original research that underpins OneroTM included only 1 hour of exercise a week.
The Research
Doctor Ready
To start OneroTM we recommend a visit to your local GP as you may be eligible for a General Practitioner Management Plan (GPMP) for one-on-one appointments. Your first two appointments with us for OneroTM will be one-on-one. A GPMP allows up to 5 visits that are reimbursed through Medicare but this does not include group sessions for Physiotherapy.
This brochure allows the GP to read about the exercise program and decide whether OneroTM is right for you.
If you are not eligible for a GPMP you may be able to claim a portion of the cost of your visit through private health insurance.
Please call us for an appointment.
