Osteoporosis? Doctor Recommends Exercise?

Published: October 13, 2025

Osteoporosis affects over 1.2 million Australians, silently weakening bones and raising the risk of fractures. The good news? With the right approach, it can be managed or even improved. 

At Back In Motion Balnarring, we proudly offer the ONERO™ program, a scientifically-backed exercise intervention designed for those with osteoporosis or low bone density (osteopenia). Developed by Professor Belinda Beck of The Bone Clinic in Queensland, ONERO™ has shown proven results in reducing fracture risk, increasing bone density, muscle and physical function.  

 

What is the ONERO™ Program? 

The ONERO™ program is a supervised, high-intensity resistance and impact training program tailored for individuals with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Based on years of clinical research, ONERO™ uses targeted exercises to build bone density, improve posture, increase strength, and protect against fractures. 

The ONERO™ program is a supervised, hands-on program where we guide you through a series of targeted exercises.  ONERO™ is safe, specific, progressive, and is only delivered by trained PHYSIOTHERAPISTS who are certified to deliver ONERO™. This means that we can tailor the program to meet your individual needs and accommodate your medical history or other comorbidities. The program is also individually staged so you can feel confident to join at any level and be guided by your PHYSIOTHERAPIST to progress at your own pace.  

The risk of osteoporotic fracture is greatly increased in people at risk of falling. ONERO™ training not only improves muscle strength but includes exercises to improve balance and mobility, thereby reducing osteoporotic fracture risk both by improving bone and reducing falls.
