Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weaker and more likely to break, often without obvious symptoms until a fracture happens. It's very common with age, particularly after menopause, but the good news is that the right kind of exercise can help protect bone and reduce the risk of falls.

Physiotherapy supports bone health through carefully prescribed strengthening and weight-bearing exercise, balance training, and practical advice to prevent falls. In this guide we cover evidence-based exercise prescription and falls prevention for osteoporosis and low bone density, designed to support clinical decisions and give patients confidence to stay active and strong.
