🧘♀️ Stress & Your Bones: The Hidden Link
We all know stress is bad for the heart and mind — but did you know it can also quietly weaken your bones?
Here at OsteoStrong Limerick Central, we’re always looking at the whole picture of bone health. That means not just diet and exercise, but also hormones, sleep, and yes — stress.
🔗 Why Stress Hurts Bone Health
Chronic stress keeps your cortisol levels elevated. Cortisol is your body’s “survival hormone,” but in excess it does this:
🚫 Suppresses osteoblasts (bone-building cells)
⚡ Increases osteoclast activity (bone breakdown)
📉 Lowers bone mineral density (BMD) over time
👉 In fact, glucocorticoid exposure (from stress or steroid medications) is one of the leading causes of secondary osteoporosis, with the fastest bone density declines seen in the spine (NIH review, Bone Research).
📊 What the Science Shows
Recent reviews have confirmed:
Chronic psychological stress is linked to lower bone density and higher fracture risk
The effect comes through both the HPA-axis (hormonal stress response) and sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight)
Even people with “normal” lifestyle factors (diet, exercise) can still lose bone if stress is left unchecked (Osteoporosis International, Psychoneuroendocrinology)
🛠 How We’re Screening for Stress in The Posture Zone
We’re adding a quick 2-minute stress screener into member reviews:
PSS-10 (Perceived Stress Scale)
✅ 0–13 = Low (Green)
⚠️ 14–26 = Moderate (Yellow)
❌ 27–40 = High (Red)
📌 This score will appear alongside your Spectrum triggers, InBody, and REMS/DEXA results, giving you a complete picture of your bone health journey.
🌟 Why It Matters for You
When we track stress side-by-side with bone health, you can see how calming your nervous system accelerates bone-building.
High stress? We’ll guide you through recovery tools like:
💤 Sleep hygiene strategies
🧘 RoXiva meditation sessions
🌊 PEMF or BEMER circulation therapy
🌞 Red light sessions
