Maintaining strong bones is essential—especially for people living with osteoporosis or osteopenia. As we age, our bones naturally lose density, increasing the risk of fractures. But there’s good news: targeted, evidence-based exercise can significantly improve bone health. That’s why physiotherapists at Active Physiotherapy recommend ONERO™ classes—a scientifically designed program that builds strength, balance, and resilience.
Delivered at our Newtown clinic, ONERO™ classes offer a safe and effective way to take control of your bone health with professional support.

What Makes ONERO™ Different from Other Exercise Programs?
Unlike general fitness classes or home workouts, ONERO™ is specifically designed for people with reduced bone density. Developed by Griffith University in QLD, this trademarked program is based on robust clinical research and tailored to safely strengthen bones under expert supervision.
Each session is run by trained physiotherapists or exercise physiologists who understand the unique risks and challenges associated with osteoporosis. The exercises are structured, progressive, and adaptable—ensuring participants are challenged safely and effectively.

How ONERO™ Supports Bone Health and Reduces Fracture Risk
ONERO™ isn’t just another group class—it’s a therapeutic program with proven outcomes. The foundation of the ONERO™ approach lies in:
- Impact loading exercises that stimulate bone growth
- Progressive resistance training that builds muscle and improves posture
- Balance and coordination drills that reduce the risk of falls
These elements work together to enhance bone strength and stability, which helps prevent the types of fractures commonly associated with osteoporosis. With physiotherapist /EP guidance, participants learn how to safely load their bones, improve muscle control, and move with confidence.
Why Physiotherapists Trust and Recommend ONERO™
At Active Physiotherapy, our clinicians only recommend programs that are backed by research and proven in real-world settings. ONERO™ checks all the boxes: it is safe, effective, and easy to integrate into a long-term osteoporosis management plan.
Physiotherapists value ONERO™ for several reasons:
- It’s clinically structured and adaptable to different ability levels
- It improves patient compliance due to the supportive environment
- It delivers measurable improvements in bone density and function
- It aligns with the goals of physiotherapy: long-term function, safety, and independence
Because each class is led by a physiotherapist or exercise physiologist, there’s continuous monitoring and progression—so patients can exercise.
Is ONERO™ Right for You? What to Expect in Class
ONERO™ is designed for adults with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or a high risk of fracture who are cleared for supervised exercise. It’s also suitable for those looking to prevent bone loss or safely return to activity after an injury or period of inactivity.
Here’s what a typical ONERO™ session looks like:
- A small-group format with close physiotherapist/exercise physiologist supervision
- Loaded weights including bars and dumbells
- Resistance and balance training tailored to your ability
- A supportive environment focused on safety and progress
Before starting, we’ll complete a one-on-one assessment to ensure the program is right for you and adapt the exercises as needed.
