OsteoCore is built on
Real science
Peer-reviewed research
Clinical experience
Safe, smart movement design
Surgeon-led insight into bone health
Evidence-Based Movement. Real Research. Real Results.
OsteoCore isn’t built on trends, fads, or guesswork. Every exercise, movement pattern, and progression in our programs is grounded in peer-reviewed, high-quality research on how bones respond to load, impact, muscle tension, and repetition.
As an orthopedic spine surgeon, Dr. Rivka Lomedico designed the OsteoCore method using decades of bone-biology research combined with real-world clinical experience treating fractures, osteoporosis, and spine disease. The result is a safe, effective system that strengthens bone density and improves balance, posture, and longevity—without risky movements or heavy weights.
How Bones Get Stronger
Bones are living tissue. They respond to stress, load, and muscle pull. The right kind of movement triggers osteoblasts—the bone-building cells—to increase bone formation. But not all exercises are created equal.
Based on the research, bones respond best to:
- Resistance training at moderate to high intensity
- Weight-bearing impact
- Muscle tension at key attachment sites
- Progressive overload over time
OsteoCore integrates these principles in a way that is safe, sustainable, and specifically tailored for individuals with osteopenia and osteoporosis.
Resistance training at moderate to high intensity
A landmark weight-training trial published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise showed that 70-80% of 1-rep max lifting significantly stimulates bone density, particularly at the spine and hip.
Bone-Stimulating Circuits You Can Do Anywhere
Each OsteoCore workout blends research-backed components:
Resistance training (adapted from clinical trials)
Using bodyweight, bands, or light weights.
Weight-bearing impact
Marching, step-ups, incline walking, controlled hops (with modifications).
Balance & stability
To reduce falls—the #1 cause of fractures.
Core & posture
To stabilize the spine and reduce injury risk.
Progressive overload
Each week builds in intensity or duration.
