As we age, broken bones can pose serious health risks, leading to reduced independence, mobility and overall quality of life. Fear of injury causes many to stop doing the activities they love, further limiting their strength and social interactions.
Therefore, Strong Bones for Life is proven to work for people of all ages and levels of activity, improving overall health by strengthening the skeletal system without spending hours in the gym. Strong Bones sessions are fast and painless with measurable results!
The Strong Bones equipment is specifically designed to apply loads in such a way that is easy on the body and completely pain-free, unlike traditional exercise methods.
Each Strong Bones for Life session includes a four-device circuit designed to apply force to specific parts of the body and can be completed in 15 minutes or less!
The Strong Bones program is ideal for people with low bone density but can be used by anyone, including professional athletes and anyone looking for a preventative treatment for osteoporosis.
The Strong Bones devices are designed to put incremental pressure on the body with maximal force only being applied for 5 seconds. It is unlikely you’ll break a sweat during a full circuit
The Strong Bones program has been shown to have a positive effect on not only bone density and blood glucose, but on our mentality too! A positive change in mental wellbeing has been scientifically documented after folks participated in a Strong Bones-like program in less that half a year!
The Strong Bones system is built around external forces on the body and is completely drug-free. It can be performed on its own or done in conjunction with osteoporosis medications.
Proven results can be achieved with just one 15-minute session per week. Build stronger bones without spending hours in the gym every day. It’s never too late to start!
By working with skilled Strong Bones experts, you can stimulate your body’s natural bone-building capabilities through our proven system, promoting strong bones for life.

Strong Bones for Life helps reverse the symptoms and effects of these and many other illnesses.
The Strong Bones system is proven to reverse Osteoporosis and reduce the symptoms of diabetes and joint and back pain while improving balance, posture and athletic ability.
With just one session per week, improve your mood and confidence with a stronger, healthier you. Our system requires just 5 seconds of maximal force using four different push and pull variations to increase bone density and reverse osteoporosis
There is evidence that bone mineral density can start to decrease by the time we are in our late 20’s. This is an ideal time to start to consciously maintain/build back bone density. By the time we reach 50, we most definitely need to take steps to prevent bone density loss. As long as you do not have any contraindications, you can join our Strong Bones tribe at any age!
While it is recommend to consult a physician or physiotherapist prior to starting any exercise program, all you need to do to start your Strong Bones journey is fill out the online patient intake form and we will take it from there!
We encourage you to talk to your physician about getting formal testing for osteoporosis. They will likely ask you specific questions about your diet and lifestyle, and may send you for a bone density (DEXA) scan. If you are curious about your risk factors, take Osteoporosis Canada’s self-assessment quiz here: https://osteoporosis.ca/risk/
Yes! We encourage a multi-factorial approach to bone care, including medication and other exercise. Please outline the stage/severity of your osteoporosis diagnosis on your initial intake form.
This depends on the stage of healing and site of fracture. Please provide a detailed account of your fracture history in the patient intake form and we will determine if you are a good candidate for the Strong Bones program.
Yes, you can wear any supportive device you may need, as long as they allow for the proper joint alignment required for the exercises. Please bring any braces or devices you may rely on to your initial intake appointment.
If you are able to transfer in and out of your wheelchair safely and independently onto a firm, flat seat, you will be able to complete the majority of the exercises offered in the resistance part of the Strong Bones program.
This depends on the reason you are using a gait aid. You will require a certain degree of mobility and balance to get on and off the machines. Our facility does have an elevator for your convenience – we invite you to come in for an initial visit to see if the program is right for you.
This depends on the stage and type of injury you are dealing with. Please fill out the intake form and be as detailed as possible about your injury and we will get in touch to discuss if you are a fit for the Strong Bones program.
Though Strong Bones is not currently covered under provincial health care, many benefit plans have a health and wellness program that may reimburse their members for using gyms and taking part in programs like Strong Bones. Please check with your specific insurance provider.
Absolutely! As long as you are comfortable talking about your health and exercising around your companion, feel free to bring a guest!

Strong Bones for Life is a proven non-medical and drug-free treatment.
Easy movements custom-tailored to your comfort and ability level.
Those who are physically unable to participate in traditional forms of resistance exercise due to mobility issues, excessive weight or being unable to lift conventional weights, and those who are more comfortable in a clinical environment or small studio rather than a commercial fitness centre will benefit greatly from the Strong Bones protocols.
Therefore, exercise has a proven, positive effect on reducing glucose in the blood along with a multitude of other health benefits. Engaging in exercise has an insulin like consequence, regardless of how insulin resistant the person is, because the effect is from inside-out of the muscle cells. Yet, one of the biggest challenges in healthcare is to get people to exercise 40-60 minutes per day, 3 to 4 times per week. Strong Bones has the power to change all that, making it a great fit for those who are at risk of/being treated for Type 2 Diabetes.
A multi-center study has demonstrated significant changes in A1c levels can be obtained when subjects exercised just one day a week for 5 – 10 minutes with Strong Bones within 12 to 24 weeks. Read about it, and other studies, HERE.
It’s never too late to start! Studies show that a lower threshold of activity in post-menopausal women can provide the same positive stimulation to bone as a higher threshold in pre-menopausal women! In other words, the older we get, the easier it gets to create sufficient strain to keep our bones healthy. What a relief!
