Proactively assess and protect your bone density before problems arise — especially critical for endurance athletes and post-menopausal women.
Looking for drug-free alternatives or adjuncts to bisphosphonates? Our protocols are designed to work with your physician’s plan.
Onero is the only exercise program clinically proven to reduce fracture risk in people with osteoporosis — developed by researchers who pioneered the LIFTMOR trial. Every participant begins with a private Onboarding Session before joining a class.
REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) is the next generation of bone quality assessment — no radiation, no referral needed, results in minutes.
Both measure bone health — but REMS gives you a fuller picture with none of the radiation.

After 3–4 months in the Onero-based bone-building class, I feel noticeably stronger and more confident in my body. It’s reassuring to know I am helping slow — or even partially reverse — bone loss. I’m glad I started, and I’m excited to see how things progress over time.
Dr. Green and her staff were amazing! My experience greatly exceeded my expectations and thankfully, everything looks good for me with no sign of excessive bone loss at the age of 67. The follow up information and recommended exercise to maintain healthy bones provided by Dr. Green are priceless!
Destiny did my bone scan. It was quick, easy and pain free. She is a delight to work with and explained my results plainly. I will be back in 6 months to see how my bones are doing.
Dr. Green and Destiny were so sweet. Everything was explained thoroughly and modesty was of utmost importance. Such a great experience for bone scans.
Dr. Wendy is great! She listens and relates my situation to her broad scope of knowledge. I am glad I found Better Bones Rx.
I believe that Dr. Wendy Green and her classes will help you build bone scientifically no matter your age (I am 81)! I am also getting wonderful extras, like increased strength, firmer upper arms, better posture, and the ability to get REMS testing to inform my bone progress. Having never been an athlete at all, I was nervous and hesitant to try these classes, but Wendy is so supportive and such a great instructor that I can now safely deadlift 36 pounds and I’m looking forward to adding more weight and more bone.
Wendy’s been awesome — encouraging, really knowledgeable, and never pushy. I feel stronger every class and genuinely look forward to it each week!
Upon the recommendation of my physician, I began participating in Wendy’s Onero classes and have been attending her sessions for the past year. Despite my medical limitations, I have experienced significant improvement in strength. Wendy’s expertise as a physical therapist provided tailored solutions and ensured proper exercise techniques, helping me achieve success. I look forward to each 50-minute class, joining others who share similar objectives, confident that these sessions contribute to my overall strength and health.
I can’t say enough about Dr. Green and her program! She came highly recommended to me by my endocrinologist. In just 2 months I have gained strength and can’t believe what I can lift with weights now. The classes are fun, challenging and we get hands on supervision at all times so I feel more confident to be lifting heavy and safely. Being with others who are on the same journey has built quite a camaraderie and support for me. We all have a great time together while working hard and gaining strength. I fully intend to continue this amazing program.
Evidence-based insights on bone health, exercise medicine, and osteoporosis care.
We tell patients with osteoporosis to exercise. Almost none of them end up in a program that actually moves the needle on bone density. Here's why the standard recommendation falls short — and what the evidence actually requires.
