Rebuild Your Bone Density.
Safely. Clinically.
Don't let osteopenia or osteoporosis dictate your active future. Onero™ is the only program clinically proven to increase bone mineral density and protect your independence, delivered under 100% physiotherapist supervision in Kew.
*Currently supporting 30+ active participants weekly at our Kew clinic.
Why Traditional Solutions
Often Fall Short
Bone density starts declining in our 40s, with menopause accelerating this loss. Unfortunately, most women are diagnosed late—often only after a routine scan in their late 60s, or worse, after sustaining a minimal trauma fracture.
The Limits of Walking & Swimming
While walking and swimming are excellent for cardiovascular fitness and general joint mobility, clinical research indicates they are not sufficient to actively rebuild bone mineral density once bone loss has commenced. To stimulate new osteoblasts (bone-building cells), your bones require targeted, progressive resistance training.
The Onero™ Breakthrough
Onero™ was developed specifically to bridge this gap. Derived from the landmark LIFTMOR clinical trial conducted at Griffith University, it utilizes supervised, high-intensity resistance and impact training to safely stimulate bone remodeling, increase muscle mass, and improve balance.
Do You Know Your T-Score?
A DEXA scan measures your bone mineral density compared to a healthy young adult. This comparison is expressed as a T-Score.

MEDICARE REBATE NOTE
DEXA scans are heavily subsidized by Medicare in Australia if you are over 70, have a history of minimal trauma fractures, or present specific clinical risk factors.
CLINICAL PATH:
The Only Evidence-Based
Bone Program
Unlike generic exercise classes, Onero™ is a licensed program backed by rigorous, peer-reviewed clinical research. It is officially endorsed by Healthy Bones Australia and recommended in clinical standards.
Visualizing Bone Rebuilding
Bone is dynamic, living tissue that constantly remodels in response to physical stress. Onero™ applies a safe, controlled amount of mechanical loading to your skeletal system, signaling your body to deposit calcium and strengthen the bone micro-architecture.
3% Lumbar Spine BMD Increase in clinical studies.
Significant reduction in overall fall and fracture risk.
Improved muscle mass, core stability, and physical posture.
Heavy Weights Over 50?
Yes, Completely Safely.
The idea of progressive weight lifting can feel intimidating, especially if you have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis. We understand that concern completely.
That is why Onero™ at Restore Physio is completely different from a gym. You will never be left to figure things out on your own. Every single movement is supervised, corrected, and supported by a university-qualified clinical physiotherapist.
Clinical Assessment First
Before lifting a single weight, we evaluate your balance, muscle strength, and fracture risk to customize the program specifically to your body.
Gradual Progression
We start very light, perfecting your movement patterns and posture. We only increase the resistance when you are completely ready.

Understanding the 12-Month Bone Rebuilding Cycle
Bone remodeling is a biological process that takes time. Onero™ is designed as a structured journey to ensure safe and sustainable density improvements.
Bone mineral density is dynamic, but it remodels slowly. Clinical research shows that it takes approximately 12 months of consistent, twice-weekly supervised Onero™ sessions to demonstrate measurable increases in bone mineral density on a follow-up DEXA scan.
During the first few months, the focus is on developing perfect lifting mechanics, improving balance, and building the muscular support system. These neurological and muscular adaptations happen quickly, significantly reducing fall risk long before the 12-month DEXA scan confirms your new, denser bone structure.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Onero™ at Restore Physio.
Onero™ is an evidence-based, high-intensity resistance and impact exercise program specifically designed to strengthen bone and muscle in people at risk of osteoporotic fracture. It was developed from the landmark LIFTMOR study conducted at Griffith University and is the only program of its kind officially endorsed by Healthy Bones Australia.
Yes, Onero™ is highly safe. Because every class is strictly supervised by a licensed physiotherapist, we ensure that every movement, lift, and impact exercise is adapted and scaled to your specific T-Score, fracture history, and physical capacity. We focus on perfect posture and controlled execution.
The clinical trial protocol requires attending classes twice a week. Each class is approximately 45 to 60 minutes long, making it highly manageable to fit into a busy lifestyle while still achieving clinically significant bone-building results.
No, you do not need a GP referral to start the program as a private patient. However, if you have a recent DEXA scan report, please bring it to your initial assessment. If you are eligible for a Chronic Disease Management Plan (formerly EPC) from your GP, you may receive a Medicare rebate for your initial physiotherapy assessment.
Yes. Because our Onero™ classes are fully delivered and supervised by registered physiotherapists, they are generally claimable under the "Group Physiotherapy" (item code 560) or "Individual Physiotherapy" (item code 505) sections of your private health insurance extras cover. We recommend checking with your specific fund provider.
