Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and fragile so they can break easily.
1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture.
Evidence tells us to maximise your bone density and prevent falls you should exercise regularly. Weight bearing strengthening exercises and balance training is advised.
Your physiotherapist is ideally qualified and experienced to develop a bone health and falls prevention program just for you or you might prefer to join in the group based Happy Healthy Hearts and Bones program.
