Bone health is instrumental to overall health, quality of life, and longevity. As people age, bones lose calcium and other essential minerals. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 9 million adults in the U.S. have osteoporosis and more than 48 million have low bone mass, resulting in approximately 15 million fractures each year. In addition, 50% of women (and 25% of men) over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis related fracture in their lifetime. In fact, a woman’s risk for an osteoporotic caused hip fracture is the same as her breast, ovarian, and uterine cancer risk combined.
Joint health is essential for the function of bone since both influence one another in all forms of movement. Over time, and years of wear and tear, the shock-absorbing joints deteriorate and become susceptible to disease. Arthritis, a general term for conditions affecting the joints and surrounding tissues, can affect people of all ages and abilities. In fact, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 67 million Americans, 18 years or older, are projected to have doctor-diagnosed arthritis by 2030.
The bioDensity system can aid in safely increasing bone density and joint integrity by stimulating the generation of new bone and the strengthening of joints. This response occurs as a result of self-applied compression forces on the skeletal bones using optimal biomechanics.
Based on the science of Wolff’s law, the theory demonstrating bone adaptation to applied pressure, the bioDensity process applies optimal biomechanics for the self-compression of bone mass. In addition, these compressive forces stimulate the growth of tendons and ligaments increasing the strength and stability of joints.
Optimal Biomechanics
By generating load in the optimal biomechanical position, users recruit a higher percentage of muscle fibers than conventional exercises. The greater the load placed on the bones and joints, the greater the adaptive response.
Four safe and precise compressive movements stimulate all major muscle groups, joints, and bones of the body: Chest Press, Leg Press, Core Pull, and Vertical Lift.
Advantages of bioDensity
Effective. The compression of bone mass promotes improved bone health and increased muscular strength.
Safe. All loads are self-applied ensuring each exposure is within your comfort zone.
Fast and Convenient. Each session requires less than 10 minutes, one time per week, and no change of clothes is necessary.
Accurate and Reliable. Server-based system ensures your information follows you to any bioDensity location.
Measurable Results. bioDensity Performance Reports are generated immediately after each session showing progress from the start.
Results You Can See
People using bioDensity, who have had bone DEXA scans within 12 months, have shown a 4 to 12% increase in bone density without the aid of medication. The results of 500 patients were tracked in a study that was conducted over a 4-year period, and showed an average increase in their muscle strength of 290%.
Besides stronger bones there are many positive results of using bioDensity, including a stronger core. A stronger core along with better balance, increased flexibility, and reduced back and joint pain, will lead to a better quality of life.
