Health and wellness, undoubtedly, is a crucial part of our life and what lies at the core of it is our bones. Without healthy bones it is impossible to carry out tasks consistently. American brand OsteoStrong caters to just that, ensuring your bones are healthy through skeletal strength development and even more interestingly, they do so without having you crack a sweat. With their assessments and carefully curated plans, one can be assured that the foundation of their body — the skeleton — will see an improvement like none other. What makes OsteoStrong’s services all the more inclusive is that it can become a part of your routine and change your health and well-being for the better in 10 minutes a week without taxing you out. And to add to it, there’s no age restriction.
Carrying forward the American brand, Chetan Todi, owner of the 4,500sqft OsteoStrong outlet on Loudon Street has set up a luxurious, comfortable and safe set-up. The services provided at OsteoStrong come under the guidance of trained and qualified physiotherapists. The process to list yourself is extremely simple and hassle-free wherein you book a discovery session through which you fill a health and wellness assessment form. This ensures that your profile is built well according to your fitness-related aims that you plan on achieving through the services.
“Osteoporosis and bone health is something which is not as prominent here as in the Western world. If you look at India as a subcontinent, bone health is not as good as the median bone health, if you compare it relatively. It is a big concern. OsteoStrong is making a difference in this space and improving the lives of people as they age. The best part is that it’s only 10 minutes a week. By putting in this less time, you can get such good results. That’s what drove us for OsteoStrong,” said Chetan Todi, owner of the Calcutta branch of OsteoStrong.

What you can avail
Osteogenic Loading: The core of OsteoStrong, the Osteogenic Loading system called Spectrum that is used during each session. During the session, the machine exerts four to 10 times of the user’s body weight on the user without injury or pain. The idea is to trigger the development of healthy bone tissue.
The outlet spans over 4,500sqft and is laden with imported equipment. The muted ambience adds to the serene experience.
Red Light Therapy: Medical-grade LEDs are used in this process to deliver red and near-infrared wavelengths to your body. This one helps one enhance their physical performance, reduce inflammation, decrease joint pain, improve sleep, increase skin collagen production and more!
Hydro Massage: Water therapy at its finest. Alleviate soreness and stiffness and treat your body to a great hydro massage. This equipment will have you relax with its waves of pressurised water targeted at your back for around six to 15 minutes at a pressure of your liking.
Normatec Boots: These boots make for a great recovery system by helping you get the benefits of targeted pulse compression. The equipment uses three primary techniques (pulsing, distal release, and gradients) to boost recovery.
Omnium PEMF: Ideally used after the Osteogenic Loading session, this Omnium PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) mat aids in the growth and repair of tissues. Additionally, it helps relieve pain and begin the healing process. This equipment is designed to reap the benefits (bone density benefits and health and wellness benefits) of the PEMF therapy in a non-medical setting.
VibePlate: Essentially used before and after the main Osteogenic Loading sessions, the VibePlate session involves the application of 30Hz of pressure to the body which “activates muscular tissue, increases circulation, and up-regulates the human growth hormone”.
