Across New York City, a growing number of residents are discovering a wellness method that helps build bone strength, improve balance, and reduce joint and back pain—without spending hours in the gym or breaking a sweat. It’s called OsteoStrong, and it’s changing how people think about long-term health.
As we age, we naturally lose bone density and muscle mass, which can affect balance, mobility, and overall quality of life. For women especially, the risks are serious: more than 20% of women who suffer hip fractures die within a year from related complications.
OsteoStrong prevents these life-altering falls and broken bones through a science-backed process called osteogenic loading. By using the facility’s specialized machines, OsteoStrong members put controlled, brief pressure on their bones to trigger the body’s natural bone-building response.
“People come back and say: ‘I feel stronger overall. I have more energy. My balance is better. My joint pain has decreased,” said Vincent Koo, owner of OsteoStrong NYC Flatiron.
“That’s the goal—to help people stay active, mobile, and independent.”
Getting started
OsteoStrong isn’t a workout or physical therapy. It’s once-a-week, 10‑minute sessions that use specialized technology to help your body get stronger, starting with your bones.
When you walk into an OsteoStrong center, you’re greeted with a calm, clean space and a friendly coach. New members start with a complimentary consultation and a guided introduction to four specialized devices that target the lower body, upper body, core, and spine. Each session takes about 10 minutes, once per week—with no sweating, no pain, and no heavy lifting.
“You’re never lifting a weight,” Koo said. “Each person is pushing to their own personal level of resistance. The machines respond to you. Your body recognizes this as a stimulus and adapts by getting stronger.”
Sessions are one-on-one, led by a trained session coach who tracks your data and helps you progress at your own pace. Members report noticeable improvements in posture, strength, energy, balance, and reduced joint or back pain within the first few weeks.
Who it’s for — and why it works
OsteoStrong is for anyone who wants to feel stronger and move through life with more confidence. Many members are in their 40s to 80s and come in with concerns about osteoporosis, osteopenia, or balance issues. Others join simply to stay strong, mobile, and independent as they age.
“For women after menopause, the loss of bone density can be significant,” Koo said. “We’ve seen members come in with low bone density and leave with scan results showing real improvement. It’s amazing.”
Because OsteoStrong uses FDA-approved scans to measure bone density, members are able to not just feel, but see the progress they are making.
Manhattanite Aimee Ross admits that she was skeptical at first when she started her membership. But she -- and her doctor -- have noticed that the weekly sessions are working.
“It seems to have done some good for my bone density,” Ross said. “After six months, two of the markers have improved and three stayed the same - my is MD very pleased.”
Science-backed results
OsteoStrong’s methods are based on research showing that triggering the body to resist force above a certain threshold can stimulate bone and muscle growth. While traditional weight-bearing exercise typically leads to a 1% annual bone density gain, OsteoStrong users show much more, all without medication or added physical strain:
• An average 7.34% increase in bone density in the spine and hip over one year
• Up to 14% gains in bone mineral density reported in 12 months
“We measure progress every step of the way,” Koo said. “This is about helping people feel stronger, move better, and stay independent as they age—and that’s priceless.”
