Work with Judith – an accredited Onero™ Practitioner for osteoporosis exercise treatment program. Improve your bone health & reduce your risk of falls!
Onero™ is the award winning evidence-based exercise treatment program for osteoporosis and osteopenia , developed from the LIFTMOR study conducted at Griffith University under the supervision of Professor Belinda Beck. The program consists of supervised, bone-targeted high-intensity resistance and impact training designed specifically to improve bone health, prevent osteoporotic fracture, and preventing falls in at-risk individuals.
Judith is the first provider to expand this programme outside of Australia.
Osteoporosis is often referred to as a “silent disease” because it typically does not present symptoms until a fracture occurs.
Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn’t keep up with the loss of old bone, leading to low density and poor quality bones. It has multiple causes and risk factors, which can be broadly categorized into things you can change and things you can’t change.
Take the IOF new One-Minute Risk Assessment test and Book an initial assessment session with Judith to review your general health & understand your specific bone health risk factors.
During the initial session, tests for balance, strength and flexibility will be completed. These measurements along with your bone scan results will dictate the starting point and speed of your progression on the programme.
In each 40 minute treatment session you will perform different types of “lifts” with varying loads, impact training, balance work and other specific exercises that are prescribed for you.
The results have shown significant increases in bone mineral density, muscle strength, and balance as well as a decreased number of falls after a period of 8 months of training.
How does Onero™ help address osteoporosis?
Recognizing the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia among her clients, Judith researched global treatment options and discovered Onero™ which is based on LIFTMOR, a study demonstrating significant bone density improvement through targeted exercises. This inspired her to establish Bone Health Asia and become the first physiotherapist outside Australia to complete the Onero™ Academy Programme.
Yes. Unlike other countries such as Australia, you are required to obtain a Dr’s referral letter to attend Physiotherapy sessions in Hong Kong.
Osteoporosis, as defined by the World Health Organisation, is a condition marked by reduced bone density and weakened bone structure, which increases the risk of fractures. Often called a “silent” disease, it typically goes undiagnosed until a minor incident results in a fragility fracture.
Onero™ is an evidence-based exercise programme designed specifically to prevent osteoporotic fracture by stimulating bone development and preventing falls in at-risk individuals. The evidence on which the Onero programme is based is derived from the findings of the LIFTMOR randomised controlled trial published in the JBMR.

Regular bone density tests are crucial for early detection and management of osteoporosis and osteopenia. Individuals should consider getting tested if they:
Onero™ is a high intensity impact resistance training (HIIRT) programme where you will be performing different types of “lifts” with varying loads, impact training, balance work and other specific exercises that are prescribed for you.
The original study which Onero is based upon, took a group of post-menopausal women with low (osteopenia) to very low (osteoporosis) bone density and put them through a training programme for 30 minutes 2 times a week over an 8 month period. Bone production and resorption never stops so you must continue to load your bones. The results from the LIFTMOR study showed that it is possible to change your bone density and fracture risk with Onero
