PRESS RELEASE————————————————————————

October 20, 2022.  Many people are familiar with the condition of Osteoporosis and its impact on individuals. However, the public may not be as familiar with the term “Osteogenic Loading”, which is a rehabilitative method of improving bone density and preventing bone fracture. Montana Governor, Greg Gianforte, and Missoula Mayor, Jordon Hess, have proclaimed, October 20 as “Osteogenic Loading Day”, encouraging the public to follow early prevention strategies, including Osteogenic Loading, to improve bone density and prevent the devastating effects of fractures caused by Osteoporosis.

World Osteoporosis Day is observed worldwide on October 20 to promote awareness of Osteoporosis as a disease and encourage preventative strategies. According to the American Bone Health and the International Osteoporosis Foundation, one in two women and one in four men over the age of 50 worldwide will experience a bone fracture in their lifetime. In addition, 25 percent of hip fracture patients die within a year.

Experts indicate a bone-healthy lifestyle, including weight-bearing and muscle- strengthening exercises and eating a nutritious diet rich in calcium, protein, Vitamin D & other nutrients can reduce the number of fractures and the impacts of conditions such as Osteoporosis. Also important are avoiding unhealthy habits such as smoking, excessive alcohol and soda intake. In recent years, thousands of people have experienced increased bone density from Osteogenic Loading – a system of 4 devices that trigger the body’s natural adaptive response to stimulate significant growth of new bone. Osteogenic Loading utilizes once-a-week, 10-minute sessions from four different positions, including the chest, legs/hips, core and spine to achieve Osteogenic Loads throughout the entire human skeleton.
