Osteoporosis Program

What Is Osteoporosis?

Osteoporosis causes bones to become weaker and more fragile , increasing the risk of fractures. It often develops gradually and may affect the spine, hips, and wrists.

Common concerns include:

• Increased fracture risk
• Loss of strength
• Poor posture
• Balance problems
• Fear of falling
• Reduced mobility and independence

How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Physical therapy can help you stay strong, active, and safe with an individualized exercise and movement program.

Your physical therapist may focus on:

• Strength training to support muscles, bones, and joints
• Balance exercises to reduce fall risk
• Posture and body mechanics to promote safe movement
• Walking and mobility training to maintain independence
• Fall-prevention strategies to improve confidence and safety

Stay Strong & Move Safely

Having osteoporosis doesn’t mean you have to stop being active. A physical therapist can help you find safe, effective ways to exercise and stay active while considering your individual needs and fracture risk.
