Osteogenic Loading

by John Jaquish, Raj Singh, Eleanor Hynote

For the past century the medical community has addressed osteoporosis as an inevitable part of the aging process. Technology developed over the past six years may mandate the medical community reevaluate their position on this disease state. This new modality for therapy and exercise is osteogenic loading, which means the growth of new bone mass through axial loading of the musculoskeletal system. This simple and effective exercise intervention can be widely used and safely prescribed for almost all populations. In addition to improving strength and bone health, subjects using osteogenic loading have greatly increased force production, thereby building the ability to increase balance.

Amazing, think of the implications!

Highly recommend to anyone interested in cutting edge information, especially about physical medicine. What luck to have stumbled across this at such an early stage of its development! I like how conducted studies were used as proxies to the efficacy of these devices and I look forward to a second edition with updated material on Osteogenic Loading.

I had to read this book in order to become a full-fledged OsteoStrong Coach. The information is fascinating on how muscles and bones work within the body.

Good information, slow read

The information is good. I was grateful for the studies mentioned, so that I could examine those and see what they said myself.

Sometimes explanations came after discussion. For example, there was a discussion of exercise and the distal forearm. Later on the distal forearm was identified as the wrist.
