From Screening to Solution: A New Era in Bone Health

Performance Health Systems introduces a scalable, evidence-led solution for musculoskeletal decline.

As demand grows for preventative, measurable, and scalable healthcare solutions, Performance Health Systems LLC, manufacturers of Power Plate and bioDensity, in collaboration with Screen My Bones, is proud to support a groundbreaking bone health studio in Leeds, UK. This innovative program pairs advanced diagnostic technology with strength-based interventions to tackle a major underdiagnosed health epidemic: declining bone density and quality.

The Silent Health Crisis

Once viewed as a condition of old age, osteoporosis and poor bone quality now affect millions of individuals, often without warning until a fracture or mobility issue occurs. The consequences are severe, including increased fall risk, frailty, cognitive decline, and reduced life expectancy.

Traditional bone scans like DEXA are limited by cost, access, and radiation exposure, making early detection difficult. To address this, the Leeds facility uses REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry), a non-ionising ultrasound-based technology that provides accurate insights into bone density and quality. REMS is fast, comfortable, and safe enough to be used routinely across broader populations.

Turning Insight Into Action

This solution goes far beyond diagnostics. When a scan identifies the need for intervention, clients are guided through a structured, evidence-based program that includes:

1. Activation – Neuromuscular stimulation and balance enhancement using Power Plate whole-body vibration.

2. Strength Building – High-impact bone loading stimulation using bioDensity, designed to promote osteogenesis and improve bone density.

3. Recovery – Re-stabilisation and muscular recovery using targeted vibration therapy.

The entire protocol takes just minutes to complete and is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including older adults, high-risk groups, and those recovering from illness or weight-related health changes.

Real World Results

Recent visitors to the Leeds facility, including Glen Thurgood (Leisure DB) and Tanya Hall (EGYM), experienced the program firsthand.

“The scan was painless and straightforward,” said Thurgood. “The team explained everything in real time, and it was easy to follow and understand.”

For Hall, the experience was especially meaningful after using GLP-1 medication. “Although the weight loss was effective, I was concerned about potential muscle and bone loss. I was nervous about the scan results, but the support and clarity I received helped me take control of any possible issues.”

Meeting Market Demands

As populations age and public interest in longevity, strength, and musculoskeletal health grows, this model meets the rising demand for proactive care with measurable outcomes.

“This system belongs in every health and wellness environment, from fitness clubs to medical clinics,” says Iain Murray, Managing Director, Performance Health Systems UK & Ireland. “It’s cost-effective, impactful, and bridges the gap between prevention and performance.”

Scalable for Operators, Clinics, and Local Authorities

Designed for flexible implementation, the program requires minimal space and no complex infrastructure. It delivers clear ROI through enhanced client retention, differentiated programming, and meaningful community health impact.
