Evidence-based bone health programs in San Diego County — combining the gold-standard Onero™ protocol with adjunct therapies like vibration & PEMF and diagnostic REMS bone scanning to help you take control of your bone density.
Osteopenia and osteoporosis are not life sentences. Better Bones Rx was founded on one belief: that every person deserves a real, science-backed path forward — not just a diagnosis and a prescription.
We combine the most clinically proven tools available — the Onero™ supervised resistance program, REMS bone density scanning, vibration plate therapy, and PEMF — into a single, coherent protocol designed to rebuild bone, reduce fracture risk, and restore strength at any age.
Move beyond a DEXA result and into a structured, research-backed plan to improve your bone health trajectory.
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.
Every class, scan, and consultation is delivered by a licensed Doctor of Physical Therapy or a trained clinical specialist. No assistants. No shortcuts.

| Results Timing | ✓ Immediate, reviewed same visit | Days to weeks |
| Safe for Annual Use | ✓ Yes — monitor progress freely | Often limited by radiation guidelines |
| Clinical Context | ✓ Interpreted by your DPT | Often a report without guidance |

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 60-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.
I’ve been taking the Onero class with Wendy, and it has been such a positive experience. Wendy is extremely knowledgeable, encouraging, and motivating. She makes sure the weightlifting and supplemental exercises are done safely and correctly while helping build strength and confidence.
Since starting the class, I’ve noticed a significant increase in my strength. I’ve also had the pleasure of meeting some amazing women in the class. I truly appreciate the welcoming and fun environment Wendy creates — it makes every session something I look forward to.
Having been diagnosed with osteopenia and having lost a lot of strength due to a mostly sedentary lifestyle for 20 years, I decided to enroll in Wendy’s bone building class. I was impressed with the extensive onboarding testing — beyond just strength, it assessed my balance, mobility, and grip strength, which are strong predictors of how well a person is aging.
Because I was new to weight training, I was nervous about performing lifts incorrectly. That fear quickly proved unwarranted: Wendy patiently works with all new participants to ensure correct form and closely watches everyone during class to catch and correct any issues.
Before starting, I wasn’t able to step up into an airport shuttle without gripping the handrail. Today, I’m amazed at how much I’ve been able to lift — reaching a personal best of 76 lb on deadlifts and squats. I’ve never felt stronger! Going to the gym can feel like a chore, but I genuinely look forward to every class because of the supportive environment Wendy creates and the wonderful women I’ve befriended.
I encourage anyone looking to build strength and stave off osteoporosis to look into Wendy’s bone building class and take advantage of the many bone-strengthening services she provides.
