Weightlifting for Osteoporosis
Did you know that weightlifting has been proven to help improve your bone density?
At Resolute we help guide you into weightlifting to help improve your bone health. We are experts in proper movement strategies and progressive loading to maintain safety throughout the program.
Osteoblast Classes
Our classes are designed and led by doctors of physical therapy to teach you how to lift weights safely. Lifting weights is a well-researched way to load your bones in order to regain density.
These classes were designed one day when a patient complained of her Osteoporosis medication and the side effects she was experiencing. She decided to stop taking her medication, with approval from her physician, and worked with us to learn how to lift. After about a year of lifting, she had improvement in her DEXA scan results.
As more women joined the class, we have seen great success with not only DEXA scan results but improved function overall. This is not just a class, it has become a community of strong, motivated women.
Getting started
Before joining the membership class, we work with you one on one to ensure your safety and movement with every lift. During these sessions you learn the program style and what to expect in the group setting.
We work on progressively increasing the weights you are lifting and once you and your PT are confident in your lifting, you can join the group class.
These sessions are run as physical therapy and you can use your health insurance.
Osteoblast Membership
After successfully completing the intro sessions, continue with your lifting journey with our monthly membership class! Goals of this class are to:
