May the Force Be With You
Bone density is one of the most important aspects of
the body because it is the foundation that holds the body upright. The muscles
ride on the bone to protect it, the ligaments and tendons attach to it and the
central nervous system activates it. The skeletal system is highly complex and
continues to replace itself every 7 to 10 years from the inside out.
Some people
overlook this important system and don’t realize that new growth of bone slows
with age. In fact, the body hits peak bone mass between 25 and 30 years of age
and then begins to lose 1 to 3 percent annually. Older bones become more porous
and, if this goes too far, it can become low bone density or osteoporosis. Loss
of bone is one reason that someone can exercise regularly but still get weaker
or experience repetitive injuries. Musculoskeletal strengthening can address
most of these problems.
“The
greatest effect on bone strength and health is the result of high-impact
activities. The solution is to engage in impact type exercises or strength
training, which becomes challenging or even unsafe because of conditioning
levels and traditional training environments,” says Josh Fandrich, Owner of
Fairhope and Mobile OsteoStrong.
OsteoStrong
utilizes robotic musculoskeletal treatment devices with high impact emulation
so that people can get the benefit of impact without the associated risk,
providing a physical medicine option
that has no side effects. Sessions are always administered by a coach and the
data is captured in real time, measured and charted to ensure the loading
events are high enough to achieve osteogenesis, which is what triggers the body
to grow bone more rapidly.
“As new
bone grows faster, the central nervous system allows the muscles, tendons and
ligaments to become stronger,” says Fandrich. “This is not only going to
address osteoporosis, but also balance, strength, joint and back pain.”
