ONERO BONE HEALTH
“When it comes to bones we know exercise can benefit people throughout their life - by growing bigger stronger bones in childhood, improving bones throughout adulthood and preventing falls that can lead to fracture as we age."
- Professor Belinda Beck - ONERO Program Developer
​
Avanti Health Centre is proud to deliver the ONERO(TM) program through its network of Centres. The program is one of the world's leading bone health programs that supports those living with, or at risk of living, with osteoporosis.
​
Effective exercise for Osteoporosis
A growing body of scientific evidence has demonstrated that OneroTM, supervised, bone-targeted high intensity resistance and impact training, reduces osteoporotic fracture risk in postmenopausal women and older men with low to very low bone mass.
The evidence-based OneroTM program improves bone, muscle, and physical function and is safe for people with low bone mass when supervised.
​
Includes fall prevention exercises
The risk of osteoporotic fracture is greatly increased in people who fall. OneroTM training includes exercises to improve balance and thereby reduces osteoporotic fracture risk both by improving bone and reducing falls.
Patient assessment
The safety of the OneroTM program depends on clinical assessment to recognise co-existing conditions so that the program can be implemented without risk of injury or exacerbation of existing conditions.
​
Fully supervised
A hallmark of the OneroTM program is the requirement for close supervision by allied health professionals.
Only coaches with the appropriate clinical training and expertise are permitted to deliver OneroTM to people living with osteoporosis.
