Osteoporosis / Bone Health

Your skeleton completely turns over and re-models every 10 years!

Bone is an ever- changing structure. It suffers micro-damage with everyday life. Over time, your body builds it up with new and stronger bone.

As we age, the process of bone turnover can become reduced, which can lead to specific bone disorders such as osteoporosis. Exercise has been proven to be the most effective course of management to improve bone strength.

Weight bearing and muscle strength exercises are pivotal to providing a suitable environment for you bones to thrive.

In our bone health exercise class, your physiotherapist will take you through a program of exercises to improve your bone density and your quality of life.
