Revolutionise your Osteoporosis and Bone Health Management with Bone Health Studio

We're not here to say that rheumatologists and endocrinologists are doing anything other than the best evidence-based treatment for osteopenia and osteoporosis.  That is NOT up for debate.

What we are saying, is that when we're digging into our Bone Health Toolbox, highly specific and tightly managed resistance training has been strongly proven (through peer reviewed studies etc) to offer a very effective outcome for improving bone mineral density.

And its NEVER too late to start. Let BHS guide you. 

There has long been a fear around using heavy resistance training for the bone health population.  Lifting heavy will break my bones.  I'm not strong enough to lift weight.  I don't know how to lift weights.

Historically, all these fears have been viewed as valid.  But the past, as they say, is best left in the past.  Through a large number of repeated studies, looking at resistance training (referred to as HiRIT - High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training) we know that HEAVY = POSITIVE CHANGES IN BONE MINERAL DENSITY.

Not just for managing Osteoporosis, Bone Builder Classes WILL increase bone health: FACT

As inspired by the groundbreaking LIFTMOR studies, the Bone Builder classes are scientifically backed to make positive changes to your bone health via Wolff's Law: 'bone remodels itself to adapt to the loads placed upon it. Increased loading makes bones stronger and denser, while decreased loading causes bones to weaken'. Lift weight greater than 80-85% 1RM*, and bone mineral density will change, irrespective of age, or experience.

Bone Builder Classes will be targeted to specific populations:

- Osteopenia and Osteoporosis

- 'Healthy' bone but making positive changes for life

- Heavy lifting classes for athletes (to reduce likelihood of Bone Stress Injury and improve movement economy)

Never been to the gym before?

'We got this', as the youth would say.

Lifting weight need not be scary or intimidating. Can you lift your groceries into the car? Can you put a jar in the cupboard up high? If you answer yes to these then you have zero to worry about.

In fact: the the contrary. Your should be EXCITED by the opportunity in front of you.

See, this is where our over 20 years clinical experience comes in to play: we can regress and progress ANY movement.

Get Strong/Eat Well

Building strong bones, and therefore making positive changes to your bone mineral density (aside from the medical interventions) can be HUGELY positively effected by 2 things:

1. Getting Strong, and

2. Eating Well.

Taken directly from the over 20 years running bioSPORT, Greg's Bone Builder programme is founded on the groundbreaking LIFTMOR studies from the late 2010's. HiRIT - High-Intensity Resistance and Impact Training, is the corner stone.  Progressively, safely, and closely documented, these heavy lifting workouts have been shown very strongly to increase bone mineral density.

Classes will be targeted to the Osteoporotic population, to those who wish to be proactive in maintaining their BMD, as well as athletes who with to prevent bone stress injuries.
