Fractureproof is an app that senses if your exercise is effectively improving your bone health, and if not, it gives you tips on how to do it right. All you need is a smartphone (only iOS so far) attached to your hip or in your pocket while you exercise.

Based on this research, Dr. John Jaquish in 2011 designed devices that could create the ideal set of resistance triggers to achieve these results. His patented machines provide brief osteogenic events that together take less than 10 minutes a week, yet are powerful enough to stimulate new bone and muscle tissue growth. This can yield improved bone density, muscle strength and balance. What’s more surprising is that it works for people of all ages.

Today I bring you an excellent conversation with Dr. John Jaquish. John has dedicated his life to bone health. He has helped many people build strong bones. Movement is a vital point to health and without bone health movement becomes very difficult. We all need strong bones.

The biodensity machine is a local invention. Alarmed by his mother’s osteoporosis, John Jaquish, 39, a Northbrook biomedical engineer, designed it in 2007 using Wolff’s law, which posits that bone can be regrown through specific force.

Ellen Kamhi, PhD, RN interviews Dr. John Jaquish about osteogenic loading. Dr. Jaquish began his experience in life sciences after being told by his Mother that she had been diagnosed with osteoporosis. John, in an effort to help his mother, created a device to place axial loading through bone to safely cause Osteogenic Loading events.

The program was developed by John Jaquish, of Chicago, a biomechanical engineer, who invented and patented the BioDensity device and computer system

When John Jaquish developed the bioDensity machine, he had no idea of the commotion it would create in the fitness community. bioDensity is the physical training machine that works to build strength and density of muscle, bone, and joints, and it’s far from your regular weight training.

Ph.D. John Jaquish’s journey to inventing a device that dramatically improves bone density began the day his mother learned she had osteoporosis.

bioDensity was featured during the health segment of Chicago’s Fox-32 Midday news show. The segment focused on the origin of bioDensity, and how Dr. John Jaquish developed the first device to treat his mother’s osteoporosis. After reversing her condition, now bioDensity helps thousands of people worldwide.

Clients at OsteoStrong also use a vibration plate before and after the exercise session to stimulate the neuromuscular and neuroendocrine pathways. They then relax on a special massage table with a variable pulsed water jet vibration, enclosed in a tube, along the spine.
