"I went from osteoporosis to osteopenia.
My doctors were just shocked."
JoDeine just got her follow-up DEXA results after two years with Kaari! 🎉
In March 2023 she was devastated by an osteoporosis diagnosis. After two years with Kaari, she’s gained bone density, muscle strength, confidence, and a new family of supportive peers and coaches.
- No meds
- Added strength training
- Calcium supplement
Latest DEXA results (no more osteoporosis!)
DEXA T-score bands: Normal (≥ −1.0), Osteopenia (−2.5 to < −1.0), Osteoporosis (< −2.5)
Hear JoDeine's story!
Remember, JoDeine did not use osteoporosis medication!
Aside from adding strength training, the only change she made was starting a calcium supplement—and her results after two years were fantastic.

Is it safe?
THE RESEARCH SAYS STRENGTH TRAINING IS SAFE
Strength training is a highly effective osteoporosis intervention, and research suggests that it's safe for people with osteoporosis, including older adults and people who have already suffered a fracture.
Research strongly suggests:
- Bones respond to loading. Our bones strengthen in response to healthy compression – exactly what happens when we challenge them with external loads like dumbbells!
- Good posture decreases the risk of compression fractures. Yoga and myofascial release are both excellent tools for improving posture and relieving tension. Yoga also strengthens the muscles that maintain better posture in the long-run.
- Balance is key! Strength training and yoga both improve overall musculoskeletal function and proprioception (our awareness of how the body is positioned in space), helping to reduce the risk of falls.

Member Story
"This program gave me my life back!"
Lori, a longtime yoga teacher, was stunned by a severe osteoporosis diagnosis. With clear guidelines, coached strength work, and weekly Zoom support, she moved from fear to confident, safe movement.
"I was told not to bend, not to lift— everything suddenly felt off-limits."
– Lori Dougherty
- Strength + medical support. Lori “threw the kitchen sink” at it—medication, bio-identical hormones, and Fosteum—paired with coached strength training.
- 12-month DEXA gains. +20% lumbar BMD, +15% femoral neck, +13.2% total hip; femoral neck & total hip back to osteopenia, lumbar much improved.
-
Clinician-confirmed progress. Lori's radiologist reported: “SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT FROM BEFORE!”

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Do I have to commit to the full 13-week program?
Yes. The 13-week duration is intentional—research shows that at least 12 weeks of consistent, progressive loading are needed to kick-start meaningful bone-building adaptations. The extra introductory week allows time to set up your tech, connect with your coach, finalize your equipment, and learn the key terms and safety concepts you’ll use throughout the program.
You can try a free one-week sample to experience the content and coaching style before enrolling. Learn more here.
Q2. What is the weekly structure and time commitment?
Each week follows a balanced, research-backed format designed for bone strength, posture, balance, and targeted athletic recovery.
Typical weekly structure:
- 4 strength training sessions (~60 minutes each - please note that this varies depending on experience, and that the time commitment decreases after the first month when you have familiarity with the movements and program structure)
- An active yoga day, focusing on mobility, posture, balance and body awareness (~30 minutes)
- A recovery day, with choice of light mobility, myofascial release, and/ or guided relaxation (~10-30 minutes, depending on what you choose)
- One day off built into each week for flexibility and rest
Q3. How do I complete my workouts? Are the sessions live or asynchronous?
Workouts are delivered through CoachRx, an intuitive coaching platform with written instructions and proprietary osteoporosis-specific training videos. You can complete the sessions anytime that suits your schedule.
Regular live Zoom meetings complement the program for added support, guidance, and face time with your coach and peers.
The Introductory Meeting on the first day of your program (highly recommended) covers:
- Meeting your Kaari Coach, Osteoporosis Program Director, and on-staff Physical Therapist
- A short movement assessment
- How to use CoachRx
- A preview of Phase 1
- The option to pair with a workout buddy
Recordings are available for all meetings.
Q4. What technology do I need to participate?
The program is delivered via Coach Rx, an industry-standard remote coaching platform. Coach Rx is an app that is optimized for mobile devices, including Apple and Android phones and tablets. Accessing the program on other devices is not supported.
You'll need a device that is new enough and has sufficient storage to stream video so that you can receive the full benefits of the program, and enjoy seamless digital delivery. If you prefer viewing instructional exercise videos on a larger screen, a tablet is recommended.
The live meetings are hosted via Zoom; a strong wifi connection will enable you to participate fully.
Q5. When (and how) will I access my Kaari Coach?
You’ll have private, ongoing access to your assigned Kaari Coach for the entire duration of your 13-week program. You can:
- Comment directly on workouts
- Message your coach through the CoachRx app
- Upload videos for feedback on your exercise form
- Ask questions and request guidance during the regular Zoom meetings
Expect replies within 24–48 business hours — usually sooner.
Q6. What if I’m traveling (or sick) during the program?
Each week has a structured progression, but you can move the workouts around to fit your schedule. We also provide travel-friendly videos that only require a resistance band — perfect for when you're on the go.
If you know you’ll be away for an extended time, consider waiting to start the program. Consistency is key for bone-building benefits.
We also know that unexpected things can happen, and that life gets in the way sometimes! We'll be happy to extend your program access by a couple of weeks beyond the official end date so you can complete your program without feeling rushed. Your coach will be able to assist with program extensions as needed.
Q7. I’ve tried other workout programs but never stick with them. How will this be different?
Accountability and support are at the heart of our program. You’ll receive:
- Automated reminders for each day’s workout
- Personal check-ins and motivational feedback from your Kaari Coach
- Form review and progression suggestions to ensure you reach your bone density goals
- Community support and opportunities to share victories and challenges with your cohort
During meetings, we discuss time management and motivation strategies, and you can choose to partner with a workout buddy for ongoing accountability.
Q8. What equipment will I need?
We provide a detailed equipment list after registration. Your coach will help you select suitable weights and equipment based on your intake form, DEXA scan, and previous exercise experience.
As a general rule, you can expect to purchase a set of light, medium, and heavy dumbbells; a weight vest; and other basic yoga props.
Q9. What happens after the 13-week program ends?
The vast majority of our clients opt to continue with one of our Maintenance Programs, billed as a monthly subscription. We offer multiple service tiers with different levels of coach support. You can view Maintenance Program options here.
Q10. What if I can't finish the program, or decide that I don't want to do it after all? Can I get a refund?
After purchase, you have a “cooling-off period” of 3 days - we will refund your payment, minus 10% of the purchase price to account for accrued admin and transaction fees. After this period has elapsed, all sales are final, and no refunds are given.
If you would like to move to a different cohort than your original start date, the change fees are as follows:
Changing cohorts BEFORE program start date
If you want to move to a different cohort before your program has started, you can do so at no cost, up to two weeks before your scheduled start date. This is subject to availability in the cohort you want to join. Please email us with your request.
If you want to move to a different cohort less than two weeks before the start date, there is a change fee equivalent to 25% of the original program fee.
Changing cohorts AFTER program start date
If you want to move to a different cohort on or after the day your program has already started, you can do so for a fee equivalent to 50% of the original program fee. Please email us with your request.
We strive to make our program accessible for as many people as possible. Since our groups regularly sell out and each spot represents a significant amount of coach time and preparation, reserving a place and then changing your start date at the last minute effectively prevents another client from beginning their bone‑building journey on time.
For this reason, we ask that you choose your start date carefully and understand that our change fees reflect the real cost of holding your spot and turning away other interested participants.
Q11. What makes this osteoporosis program different from cheaper options?
Our results-driven, evidence-based approach combines medical expertise, scientific precision, and personalized accountability and instruction. Our program was created by osteo-specialized medical and movement professionals who have helped hundreds of people maintain or improve bone density, and our highly-qualified coaches have decades of combined experience working with osteoporotic clients. 80% of participants show measurable improvement at their next DEXA scan.
Distinct advantages include:
- Specialized oversight from experienced bone health professionals
- Research-backed exercise selection, and gradual and safe progression proven to build bone density
- Individualized feedback and continuous monitoring
- Integrated training for bone density, balance, posture, and body awareness for comprehensive fracture risk reduction
- Stress management tools (gentle yoga, guided relaxation, myofascial release) to support hormonal health, recovery, and tissue resilience
Cheaper self-guided subscriptions can’t match this level of support or safety. Read our Google reviews to see participant experiences firsthand.
Q12. Can I use my HSA/FSA to pay for the program?
Yes. You can pay directly with your HSA or FSA after submitting your intake form. If you have questions, email billing@kaariprehab.com.
Q13. Still unsure if it's right for you?
Schedule a free consultation here. We’ll answer your questions, review your goals, and help you determine whether Kaari Prehab is the perfect fit for your bone health journey.
