Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures—especially in older adults. Managing it effectively requires more than just medication; safe and structured exercise plays a crucial role. That’s where ONERO™ classes come in.
Offered by accredited physiotherapists and exercise physiologists at Active Physiotherapy, ONERO™ is a clinically-proven exercise program specifically designed to support individuals with low bone density. Delivered in our Newtown clinic, these classes help patients build strength, improve balance, and reduce their risk of falls in a supportive and supervised setting.

What is the ONERO™ Program and Who Is It For?
ONERO™ is a trademarked, evidence-based program developed at Griffith Universityin QLD. . It’s aimed at people diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia, especially those seeking a proactive, long-term strategy to protect their bone health.
Unlike general fitness classes, ONERO™ is tailored to the specific needs and risks of those with compromised bone strength. The exercises are grounded in science and delivered by physiotherapists/ EP’s with clinical expertise, ensuring that each movement is safe, purposeful, and progressive.

How Do ONERO™ Classes Work?
Each ONERO™ session combines weight-bearing and resistance-based exercises, impact loading movements, and balance training. This multimodal approach is designed to stimulate bone growth, improve postural control, and enhance muscle function.
At Active Physiotherapy, our exercise therapy sessions are personalised and supervised to ensure safety. Exercises are adjusted according to your ability, and physiotherapists monitor your technique and progress across sessions. This allows you to safely build strength over time, even if you’re new to structured exercise.
Proven Benefits of ONERO™ for Osteoporosis
Research shows that ONERO™ can lead to measurable improvements in bone mineral density and muscle strength. Most importantly, the program helps to significantly reduce the risk of falls and fractures—two of the most serious concerns for those with osteoporosis.
Patients who participate in ONERO™ also report greater confidence, improved mobility, and better balance in daily activities. This is especially valuable for those who want to maintain independence and avoid unnecessary injuries.
