BONES NEED EXERCISE
“Bone health is not just about preventing falls by doing a particular exercise program. It's about maintaining your ability to do anything that you want to do throughout your life."
- Professor Belinda Beck
Director of The Bone Clinic ONERO™
Not all exercise is created equal and not all exercise is effective. Research has demonstrated that only certain types of exercise improve bone health. Onero ™ classes on the Sunshine Coast are an osteoporosis treatment program designed specifically to prevent fractures by stimulating bone development and reducing fall risk. Onero ™ is a highly targeted exercise program that uses resistance and impact exercises (including core strengthening and balance training) to stimulate bone and muscle.
At Exercise Matters we have have an in-house DEXA scan which is the gold standard for measuring your Bone Density and Body Composition. For more Infromation about the DEXA Scan click here
Healthy Bones Australia (HBA), formerly Osteoporosis Australia, is a national non-for-profit organisation and the leading consumer body to reduce broken bones and improve bone health across Australia. To find out more about osteoporosis please visit the Healthy Bones Australia
Onero ™ at Exercise Matters
To be safe and effective an exercise program must be supervised by a physiotherapist or accredited exercise physiologist who is trained and Licensed to deliver the Onero ™program. The AEP team at Exercise Matters Exercise are qualified to deliver Onero ™ to our clients who are either at-risk of or are diagnosed with osteoporosis. Onero ™ is appropriate for adults of any age wishing to reduce their risk of osteoporotic fracture.
One of the great features of Onero ™ is that you don’t need to exercise everyday, in fact research has found that just twice a week is enough to stimulate bone, improve muscle and help prevent falls. Exercise Matters recommends attending at least 2 sessions a week to get the maximum benefit.
To start Onero ™ we recommend a visit to your local GP as you may be eligible for a medicare rebate. If you are not eligible you may be able to claim the cost of your visit through private health insurance.

"My GP recommended I contact the Exercise Matters team for a DEXA Scan Bone Density Assessment. My scan revealed low bone density and that I was osteopenia. I initially thought this meant I was heading for Osteoporosis, however Dr Sven Rees gave me all the information I needed to make the decision to try evidence based exercise before considering medication. After 12months of coming to the ONERO™ classes twice a week, I have now regained muscle, strength, & balance. Best of all, my bone density results have improved & I have held off an osteoporosis diagnosis.
Beyond the health benefits, these classes are simply wonderful - the staff are so friendly and knowledgeable and I have made new friends for life. I have surprised myself as this is the VERY first time in my life that I have ever enjoyed exercise. I now look forward to these classes and I am lifting weights I never knew was possible."
