Can Osteoporosis Really Be Reversed?

A borderline osteopenic to osteoporotic diagnosis is not a death sentence and more importantly, it can be reversed.

The first step is to know your fragility score using an EchoLight REMS scan and then determine the appropriate exercise intervention.

For those with medium-grade fragility, incorporating weight-bearing exercises is crucial. Simple activities like 50 hops on each leg, five days a week, can be very effective. This routine can potentially lead to a 1% increase in bone density per year, offsetting the typical 1% annual loss.

For more significant improvements, a structured exercise program that includes multi-directional hopping, lunge jumps, heel slams, and strength training can be beneficial.

Research has shown that heavy lifting, such as five sets of five reps of four exercises, could increase spine bone density by up to 3% in as little as eight months.

It’s essential to tailor the exercise plan to your individual needs and ensure you have access to the necessary resources. Plus make sure to consult with a professional to develop a programme that supports both your bone health and overall well-being.

I discuss this and much more with my guest on this week’s episode of the Evolution Lab, Paul Magee, our Bone Scanning partner clinic at Evolution.

We also dive deep into the critical aspects of bone health, testing methods, and prevention strategies, plus the differences between DEXA and REMS scans.

We cover the need for early detection and preventative approaches as well as the genetic, environmental and lifestyle factors affecting bone health.

The overall outcome is an inspiring and informative conversation for anyone wishing to better understand bone health and the impact of ageing, lifestyle and other factors on their own bone density and strength.

Stick to the basics.

✅ Knee Extensions
✅ Hamstring Curls
✅ Squats
✅ Deadlifts
✅ Calf Raises
..Repeat.

Modify with single leg versions when appropriate and apply progressive overload principles.

It's not sexy and it's not rocket science.
But it works.

Stick to the basics.
Do them well.
Progress steadily.
Trust the process.’
