The Science
What Is BioDensity?
BioDensity is an osteogenic loading device that uses your own body's force to stimulate bone growth. Through four short, controlled movements that take less than ten minutes per session, BioDensity triggers the same biological response in your bones that years of high impact exercise would create, but safely, comfortably and with measurable results.
The science is clear. Bone is living tissue. It responds to load. When you apply the right kind of force in the right way, your body responds by building new bone. BioDensity is specifically engineered to deliver exactly that stimulus, making it one of the most effective and evidence-backed tools for improving bone density at any age.

The Origin Story
The Story Behind BioDensity at SMB
BioDensity has been at the heart of Screen My Bones from the very beginning. Our founder Gary Rhodes first encountered this technology in 2012 when he invested in a BioDensity device to help a family member reverse osteoporosis. In just 23 months he saw a transformation from a T-score of minus 2.7 back into the normal ranges of a healthy 30 year old.

That result changed everything. It proved something we now champion every single day. Bone loss is not inevitable. Osteoporosis is not a life sentence. With the right technology and the right guidance, the body has an extraordinary capacity to rebuild.
The Session
What Happens in a BioDensity Session?
Each movement involves applying your maximum voluntary force against a fixed resistance for a few seconds. The session takes less than ten minutes from start to finish.
1
Upper Body Pull
A seated pulling motion that loads the spine and upper extremities, stimulating osteogenic response in the vertebrae and forearms.
2
Upper Body Push
A chest press position generating compressive load through the wrists, arms and spine, targeting areas most vulnerable to fragility fractures.
3
Lower Body Push
A leg press movement creating high axial load through the hips and lower spine, the two sites most commonly scanned and most prone to osteoporotic fracture.
4
Core
A controlled postural loading position that engages the full kinetic chain, reinforcing core stability and spinal alignment under meaningful load.
It is not a workout. There is no cardio, no sweat and no exhaustion. BioDensity is about quality of stimulus, not quantity of effort. One session per week is all it takes.
For Everyone
Who Is BioDensity For?
- Women going through perimenopause or menopause
- Anyone diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis wanting to reverse it
- Older adults wanting to maintain independence, mobility and strength
- Athletes wanting to optimise skeletal performance
- Anyone wanting the most proactive approach to long term bone health
The Complete Approach
BioDensity and REMS Together
When you combine regular BioDensity sessions with REMS bone density assessments you have everything you need for a truly complete bone health programme.
1
Know Your Bones
A REMS assessment establishes your baseline so you know exactly where you stand
2
Build Your Bones
Weekly BioDensity sessions stimulate new bone growth through osteogenic loading
3
Track the Change
Follow-up REMS scans measure real improvement and guide your ongoing programme
This is what a proactive, empowered bone health journey looks like.
The Evidence
What the Research Says
BioDensity is backed by a growing body of published clinical research demonstrating meaningful improvements in bone mineral density with regular use. Studies have shown significant gains in hip and spine density in both pre and post-menopausal women, as well as improvements in balance, strength and functional movement across a wide range of age groups.
Peer-Reviewed Evidence
