My parents and I have had 7 weekly sessions at OsteoStrong. My mom's arthritis pain has started to subside; she hasn't worn lidocaine patches on foot, hips, or shoulders the entire 7 weeks. My dad's mobility has improved; notably in the time it takes to get out of a sitting position from chairs or low-seated vehicles as well as a shortened amount of time to walk around a neighborhood park lake. His walking confidence has improved to the point where he is considering not using his cane as much for support. My dad's testimonial: "This is to let people know that I am a senior of 88 years. I have been going to the OsteoStrong exercise place for a month since January 2022. I have been feeling very good and happy since going to this place and have been improving my physical condition tremendously and also with my mentally disposition with a very positive attitude! I recommend very highly of other senior citizens to visit OsteoStrong Los Gatos. The staff is wonderful and courteous with their clients." My results have not been as dramatic and can not be compared to my parents results as their level of exercise was "inactive" before joining and I had a different wellness starting baseline. Prevention of brittle bones/falls is my focus for my parents - maintenance of current health baseline and weight correction from pandemic inactivity in the dance studio is my focus. We kids are encouraged by our parents' balance improvement in the short amount of time...
Read moreOn May 8, 2021, I woke up with a right foot that felt ice cold. As the days went on, the entire right side of my body up to my thoracic spine went numb. I eventually made it to Stanford where I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, which has been a total shock.
In my effort to be healthier and take care of my spine, I have been trying to change some habits and find the correct resources.
It's tough to make time for much of anything because I run a thriving business of my own, and have 2 very small children (3 and 5).
Yet, Osteostrong is one of two self care things that I will continue to make time for (the other is F45).
Natasha, the owner, is a wonderful human being. I can tell that she cares deeply about helping people with their health. I love walking in and seeing her bright, beautiful smile.
Travis, Ben, and a slightly older woman whose name I can't remember (I will find out and update this)-- they are all great too! They coach clients through the exercises on 4 machines and the vibrating platform.
The other offerings they have are the hydromassage, an energy frequency machine, red light therapy, and compression.
Everything is brief enough that you're in and out relatively fast, and in a predictable amount of time.
Thank you, Osteostrong, for helping me improve my...
Read moreI was recommended to try Osteostrong by a family friend after I had broken my foot and lost significant bone density from not walking on it for over a year. Wasn’t too sure if it would be something that I could even do as I was still dealing with a lot of foot pain which is why I could barely walk more than 20 min anyways, plus my balance was also now atrocious. However, after one session it was clear that not only could I do the exercises but that none of them caused me more pain. 4 months later and I have much better balance and my doc says my bone density in my foot is improving!! Plus the hydro massage is the perfect way to relax after!!
After 8 months of osteostrong I was able to stop taking the done density meds I was prescribed and my doctor even asked what I had been doing since the increase in density was so much better! Aug 2020 I had to have a 2nd surgery on my foot and again from lack of walking began to lose bone density. However, once I started Osteostrong again my doctor saw significant improvement and didn’t even recommend meds this time. Osteostrong has been a great safe way to keep my done density where it needs to be without causing pain. This place is...
