Bone Health Questions Answered

  • How does osteogenic loading actually build bone density in just 10 minutes a week?

    Osteogenic loading works by applying a precise mechanical force to your skeletal system, enough to trigger the body's natural bone remodeling process. Our patented robotic devices replicate forces greater than 4x your body weight in a controlled, supervised environment. That level of stimulus is the scientific threshold required for bone adaptation, specifically hip bone growth. Because the body needs time to complete its natural remodeling cycle, once per week is the recommended frequency. Sessions are guided by a trained coach from start to finish to ensure proper loading and safety throughout.
  • Is osteogenic loading safe for seniors or people who have never exercised regularly?

    Yes, and this is one of the most important distinctions about our approach. The robotic devices do the mechanical work, so your muscles and joints are not exposed to the strain of traditional heavy lifting or high-impact training. This makes the protocol well suited for seniors, post-menopausal women, and deconditioned individuals who may not be candidates for conventional gym programs. All sessions are fully supervised by a trained coach, and the protocol is designed with safety as a core priority. Statements about results have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose or treat any disease.
  • What is a REMS bone density assessment, and how does it differ from a DEXA scan?

    REMS stands for Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry. It is an advanced bone density assessment tool that uses radiofrequency ultrasound rather than radiation to evaluate bone quality. Many members and healthcare providers are familiar with DEXA scans, which use low-dose X-ray. REMS offers a radiation-free alternative that provides detailed insight into bone density and structural quality. At OsteoStrong Melbourne Central, we use REMS as a clinical tool to track your progress over time, giving you measurable data to see how your bone health is responding to your sessions.
  • What kinds of results can I realistically expect, and how soon might I notice a difference?

    Results vary from person to person and depend on consistency, nutrition, and individual health factors. Member feedback at OsteoStrong Melbourne Central has been encouraging: one member reported that after one year, her hip bones were 9.5% stronger and her lower spine was 19% stronger. Another noted improvements in balance, stability, and strength after just five weeks. A third shared that chronic hip pain resolved entirely after a few months of consistent sessions. These are real member experiences and are not guarantees. Progress is best tracked through periodic REMS or DEXA assessments.
  • What is the AlgaeCal and OsteoStrong combination, and why is it recommended?

    AlgaeCal is a plant-based calcium supplement that is clinically supported to increase bone density. Out of more than 400 calcium supplements evaluated, it is the only one with that level of clinical backing. When paired with osteogenic loading sessions, the two work together as a nutritional and mechanical combination: the sessions deliver the biological stimulus for bone remodeling, while AlgaeCal provides the raw material your body needs to build new bone. We refer to this pairing as the world's most effective bone-strengthening duo, and it is available through the center as part of a comprehensive approach to long-term bone health.
  • What wellness therapy modalities are available beyond the core bone-loading sessions?

    OsteoStrong Melbourne Central offers a full suite of support modalities to complement your bone-loading sessions. These include Red Light Therapy for inflammation relief and muscle recovery, PEMF Therapy using pulsed electromagnetic fields to support cell growth and tissue repair, Biocharger for energy and immune support, Normatech Boots for lymphatic drainage and muscle recovery, Hydromassage for relaxation and rejuvenation, Vibeplate for vertical vibration therapy, Full Spectrum Infrared Sauna for internal warming and detoxification, and LIMFA Therapy, an FDA-cleared cellular therapy that helps modulate pain and support tissue repair.
  • Are these services covered by health insurance or eligible under an HSA or FSA?

    OsteoStrong services are generally not covered by traditional health insurance plans. Regarding Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account eligibility, we recommend checking directly with your plan administrator, as we cannot confirm that information on your behalf. We encourage you to reach out to our team to discuss membership options and find a fit for your budget. While we cannot speak to reimbursement codes or insurance classifications, we are happy to walk you through what is included in our membership packages.
  • Who is a good fit for OsteoStrong Melbourne Central, and who typically becomes a member?

    Our members come from a range of backgrounds. The majority are senior women looking to protect their independence, reduce fracture risk, and improve balance and posture without the demands of a traditional gym. We also work with athletes and individuals recovering from injuries who want to build structural strength, as well as people diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia who are looking for a non-drug, science-backed option. If you have been told your bones are at risk, or if you simply want to be proactive about long-term musculoskeletal health, OsteoStrong Melbourne Central was built with you in mind.
