THE ONERO™ PROGRAM
Build Stronger Bones. Build Strength for Life.
Why ONERO™?
Approximately 1 in 2 women over age 50 will experience an osteoporosis-related fracture in their lifetime. But a diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia does not mean you have to stop challenging your body. The right type of exercise can be an important part of building stronger bones, improving strength, and reducing fall and fracture risk.
What is ONERO™?
Developed by The Bone Clinic in Australia, ONERO™ is an evidence-based exercise program built on more than a decade of research and clinical application in osteoporosis. The program uses progressive resistance and impact training specifically designed to improve bone density, build muscle strength, and reduce fall risk.
Dr. Ali Kennedy and Dr. Rob Kennedy are the first licensed providers to bring the ONERO™ program to the western suburbs of Chicago.
What to expect in an ONERO™ class
ONERO™ classes are 45 minutes and intentionally kept small to provide close supervision, individualized instruction, and attention to proper technique.
No previous strength-training experience is necessary. We will teach you the exercises and gradually progress the resistance as your technique, strength, and confidence grow.
