Evidence-based Treatment Program for Osteoporosis Onero™

Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle, increasing the risk of fractures. It occurs when bone density decreases, often as a result of aging or hormonal changes, making bones more fragile and less able to withstand everyday stresses.

Osteoporosis is often referred to as a “silent disease” because it typically does not present symptoms until a fracture occurs.

What is Onero™

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 journal JBMR in 2017.

Regular bone density tests are crucial for early detection and management of osteoporosis and osteopenia. Individuals should consider getting tested if they:

  • We encourage everyone – women and men to have a baseline bone density test at 40 years of age.
  • Have a family history of osteoporosis.
  • Have experienced a fracture after any accident regardless of the force after the age of 50 .
  • Have conditions or take medications that affect bone health.

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
