Call or FAX to register for Alberta’s first ONERO licensed provider small group exercise classes.
Improve bone density, decrease pain, improve balance, and increase strength in a physiotherapist- supervised, clinically proven program.
The Exercise and Sports Science Australia Professional Development committee certifies that training to become a Licensed ONEROTM provider meets the ESSA criteria for 6 Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.
SCIENTIFIC RECOGNITION
The Journal of Bone and Mineral Research is the highest-ranking bone journal in the world, publishing over ~2,500 scientific papers a year, all undertaking rigorous peer review. In 2017, the publication on which the ONEROTM program is based made the Top 5 JBMR ‘Attention Grabbing Papers’.
AWARDS
Sports Medicine Australia
A presentation of The Bone Clinic data reporting 9-year findings of the effect of ONEROTM on osteoporosis and osteopenia won the best paper award at the 2024 ports Medicine Australia (SMA) Conference in Melbourne, Australia.
Exercise and Sports Science Australia
A research presentation of the 3-year findings on ONEROTM from The Bone Clinic won the ‘Practitioner Award’ at the Exercise and Sports Science Australia 2018 Research to Practice meeting in Brisbane, Australia.
INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
ONEROTM featured in a National Geographic story about osteoporosis and exercise in January 2024. In May 2018, Wall Street Journal published an article on the revolutionary ONEROTM program for osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Osteoporosis?
Doctor recommends exercise?
But what exercise?
Research has shown that only a certain type of exercise improves bone health.
The award-winning evidence-based exercise programme for osteoporosis
EFFECTIVE EXERCISE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS
A growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that ONEROTM, supervised, bonetargeted, high-intensity resistance and impact training, reduces osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women and older men with low to very low bone mass [1-8]. The evidence-based ONEROTM program improves bone, muscle, and physical function and is safe for people with low bone mass when supervised [1-8].
INCLUDES FALL PREVENTION
The risk of osteoporotic fracture is greatly increased in people at risk of falling. ONEROTM training not only improves leg muscle strength but includes exercises to improve balance and mobility, thereby reducing osteoporotic fracture risk both by improving bone and reducing falls.
FULLY SUPERVISED
A hallmark of the ONEROTM program is the requirement for close supervision by trained professionals. Only coaches with the appropriate clinical and exercise expertise are permitted to deliver ONEROTM to clients living with osteoporosis.
ONGOING RESEARCH
Along with bone density testing, we build in a number of simple functional tests before beginning ONEROTM to facilitate a comprehensive assessment of efficacy. These tests form part of a vital strategy to track the real world safety and effectiveness of the ONEROTM program in the global research program in progress at The Bone Clinic.
DISCLAIMER
The ONEROTM program is designed to improve osteoporosis or osteopenia but consultation with a primary care provider and/or specialist is recommended to understand all treatment options.
Just by chance I came by an article on The Bone Clinic and the wonderful news that women are increasing their bone density. I came in for an appointment and have been coming for 12 months. I’ve regained muscle, strength and balance. It has given me a new lease of life. My bone density improved by 5% in the spine and 8% in my hip!
