Strength training for stronger bones and evidence-based fracture prevention — for all levels of ability. Brick House Bones® is a structured, research-backed strength training app designed specifically for osteopenia, osteoporosis, and low bone density. Created by Dr. Lisa Moore, Doctor of Physical Therapy and bone health exercise specialist, this program helps you build strength, improve bone density, and support long-term fracture prevention with clarity and confidence. THE BRICK HOUSE BONES® METHOD If you've been told to “just walk more,” “don’t fall,” or “avoid lifting,” you deserve better guidance. Inside this app, every program is built around the core pillars of the Brick House Bones® Method: 1. Strategic Strength Training Progressive resistance training that safely and effectively stimulates muscle and bone. 2. Controlled, Purposeful Impact When appropriate, impact is introduced gradually to support bone adaptation — without guesswork. 3. Posture Exercises Spine-supportive movements designed to protect vulnerable areas while building strength. 4. Dynamic Balance Training that improves stability, coordination, and reaction time to reduce fall risk. 5. Power (Strength + Speed) Because bone responds to force — and real life requires confident, quick movement. 6. Informed Progression Clear guidance on effort, load, advancement — and when to modify. You’ll learn how to adjust exercises to meet your current ability while continuing to move forward safely and confidently. 7. Comprehensive Support Education, structure, and expert instruction so you understand what you’re doing — and why it matters. MORE THAN A BONE DENSITY PROGRAM Improving bone density is important, but fracture prevention goes beyond a scan number. It’s about building the strength, stability, and resilience that support you in everyday life. That’s why this app integrates resistance training, posture work, balance, power, and intelligent progression into a complete system — designed to help you move better, feel stronger, and reduce fracture risk over time. DESIGNED FOR: • People newly diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis • Active adults who want safe, structured progression • Beginners who need a clear starting point • Experienced exercisers who want to train smarter • Anyone who wants to stay strong for life SUPPORT FOR YOUR ACTIVE LIFESTYLE This program supports your active life so you can keep doing the things you love with the people you love. Whether that’s hiking, traveling, lifting grandchildren, playing pickleball, gardening, or simply moving confidently through your day — you’re building a body that’s more capable! It's not about slowing down, it's about becoming more resilient with age. INSIDE THE APP YOU'LL FIND: • Structured programs for beginners through advanced exercisers • Follow-along strength workouts • Clear instruction on form and safety • Guidance on weight, effort, and progression • Educational resources and expert interviews to help you understand why you’re doing what you’re doing • A supportive community of people who are committed to getting stronger together Whether you’re newly diagnosed or ready to move beyond beginner level, you’ll have a clear plan for improving your bone health through evidence-based exercise.
