The Science
Building unparalleled strength while building stronger bones and improving balance.
Our program is based on three key principals.
First, we harness the power of Osteogenic Loading which has been clinically proven to improve Bone Density while also building strength.
Second, Static Contraction Training in the form of Yielding Isometrics in the eccentric or lowering phase helps to build strength safely and also functionally as eccentric strength is the phase that helps prevent someone from falling.
Third, through the aide of computerized balance testing and training and computerized postural and gait analysis we are able to work on risk factors to help prevent fall fractures.
Expanding Your Functional Lifespan
This chart shows how Osteogenic Loading & Static Contraction Training can help build a stronger musculoskeletal foundation to help extend function through life by starting as early as possible and maintaining the program on a consistent basis.
People who practice in weekly sessions can build stronger bones, muscle, and soft tissues. This helps prevent musculoskeletal injuries while increasing overall strength. Additionally, joint pain such as back pain and shoulder pain can be reduced and the side effect of all of this is an improvement in health (Heart Health, Blood, and more.)
Simply put, Bone & Balance provides the opportunity to improve the quality of life as you age. More importantly it can help increase life expectancy and overall quality of life.
Safely Building Your Peak Strength
This chart shows shows the difference in imposed loads during a traditional “Active” full range of motion Leg Press for 10 reps vs. 1 rep of a “Static Contraction Training” Leg Press which is occurs in an optimized range of motion at 80%-90% of full extension.
The contraction time of the “Active Training” workout is approx. 44 sec vs 120 seconds during Static Contraction Training. Also, the loads are more than double which results in a 6x in the imposed load over time, as Static Contraction Training uses 700lbs vs 325lbs in the Full ROM Active Workout.
