How does the Building Bones Application work?

You can download the application now from the mobile app store.

It is available in iOS and Android in Ireland and the UK.

First we find out about your bone health and exercise ability

Once you register on the app, you will begin your assessment. This will ask questions about your bone health and will require you to complete some at home strength and balance exercise assessments if you are able.
This is to help determine the most suitable program for you.

Next, learn about bone health and exercise

While you are waiting for your personalised program you can explore our education section and introduction exercise program.

Once a program has been assigned, a chartered physiotherapist will review the program before it is sent to you on the app.

This is an extra step to make sure the program best suits the answers you gave on your assessment.

Begin your personalised program

Once the program has been assigned to you and you have subscribed, you will have access to your 12 week tailored exercise program and all the features of the application.

You will be able to carry out your strength program, progress through different levels of balance and impact exercises, track your activity and progress and retest your strength and balance assessments.

Ongoing support

You can choose to add friends and join different communities where you can share your activities, and like and comment on other people’s activities to support them.

You can reach out to our team through the application for support at any time. We are here to support you.

  • Every person will receive a personalised 12 week program. You will receive a 12 week strength program that guides you on technique and you can progress at your own pace. You will also receive a 12 week balance and impact program.

  • Both the balance and impact programmes selected for you are designed to gradually progress over the 12 weeks. The exercises will change every 3 weeks.
    Balance: The balance program covers all the key areas of our balance we want to challenge; static, dynamic, anticipatory, functional and reactive.

    Impact: The impact program will vary hugely depending on your level. The exercises range from seated low level impact, to gym based high impact, depending on what a person needs. The exercises selected for you will progress gradually over the 12 weeks and include different directions and types of movements.

  • The exercises chosen in your strength program will depend on the answers you provide in your questionnaire and assessment when you sign up.
    All strength programs will include key movement patterns throughout your program; Squat, Hinge, Push, Pull, Press, Carry, Back and Abdominal exercises.
    You can select if you prefer home based or gym based exercises.
    Unlike the balance and impact modules, your exercises will remain mostly the same over the 12 weeks - as we want to encourage progression.

  • All our exercises feature videos demonstrating technique and written instructions. We also have an additional section for frequently asked questions about exercise and more videos on exercise technique and things you need to know.

  • When filling out your assessment it asks you about injuries and painful movements so the chosen program tries to avoid these.
    However, if you cannot do the exercises there is a section in the ‘Help’ part of our app where you can let us know. We can then change the exercise is required.

  • Your program is selected based on the answers provided by you in your bone health questionnaire and exercise assessment.
    Our uniquely developed backend platform selects the most appropriate program for you.
    The platform has been designed by Jenni and is based on >11 years of clinical experience, >7 years of setting up bone health clinics and research, and current guidelines and research.

    The platform features 100s of different exercises and can generate over 10,000 program combinations.
    After your program has been generated it is then looked over by a chartered physiotherapist before being sent to you.
    We do not use any AI in the generation of our programs.
