Tutu wants to protect her bones so if she falls, she can get right back up! Maui Physical Therapist Christie Newsom joins us to revolutionize our understanding of bone health through strength training. Inspired by renowned researcher Dr. Belinda Beck, Christie shares her study of the Onero system and why it is successful in managing osteoporosis. We uncover how engaging large muscle groups—like glutes and hips—transform not just rehabilitation but also daily life, especially for those with sedentary lifestyles.
