Bones for Life ®
developed by Ruthy Alon

Improve your

- bone strength and posture
- balance and coordination

Bones renew themselves with physical pressure and vibrations. The Bones for Life Program gently stimulates bone strength by applying pressure to the whole skeleton. It helps you to realign your posture and obtain a springy walk. Your bones reliably sustain your weight, and movement becomes pleasurable, inspiring self-confidence and biological optimism. Lessons are done sitting, standing, lying or pressing in a wall.

Osteoporosis and low bone mass afflict 55 % of the population older than 50 in the United States. For women the risk of suffering from Osteoporosis begins in their 30s and increases through menopause. The National Osteoporosis Foundation says that osteoporosis is not part of normal aging and can be prevented through exercise. Bones for Life allows you to integrate movement into your daily life without strenuous or lengthy exercise regimen.

Comparative research shows that African women, who carry massive loads on their heads with effortless grace, are one hundred times less liable to fractures than women in the West, despite the fact that their bone density is lower than that of  Western women.

The Bones For Life program addresses the functional aspect of movement skill involved in withstanding such a load by offering a series of movement processes that improve the quality of body coordination. The emphasis of the program is on organizing the skeleton into a safe weight-bearing posture to sustain springy pulsations of force-the natural code for bone strength and suppleness.

NASA found that bones can be stimulated to increase density and mass.

Bone Mineral Density (BMD) improved in a statistically significant way in the 31 female participants, aged 28 - 69 years old, who worked with Ruthy Alon, for four months, meeting three hours per week. BMD is a measurement to diagnose Osteoporosis.
