How Exercise Can Help You Fight Osteoporosis
May is National Osteoporosis Awareness Month. Osteoporosis is a bone condition that causes thin, fragile bones, leading to an increased risk of bone fractures. Osteoporosis is a preventable disease that largely impacts women, who account for 80% of individuals with the condition. Exercise plays a critical role in preventing and managing osteoporosis. Exercise improves bone density, building stronger bones, helping maintain bone health, and slowing and preventing bone loss. If diagnosed with osteoporosis, it is crucial to safely engage in targeted exercise with your physical therapist, including balance training, weight-bearing aerobics, and strength training.
