Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes decreased bone mineral density and changes in bone structure, leading to bones that are thin, porous, and brittle, and more susceptible to fractures. Factors, such as hormonal changes, nutritional deficiencies, a sedentary lifestyle, family history, and certain medications and diseases, can contribute to the development of osteoporosis. Physical therapy plays a critical role in managing osteoporosis, helping those with osteoporosis maintain and build bone density through a customized exercise program.

Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by low bone mineral density, decreased bone strength, and changes in bone structure that causes thin, brittle bones and an increased risk of bone fractures. Physical therapy plays a critical role in managing osteoporosis, helping those with osteoporosis maintain and build bone density through a customized therapeutic exercise program. Research has shown that aerobic and resistance exercise effectively stimulate bone osteogenesis in osteoporosis patients, improving bone density and reducing fall risk.

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease characterized by low bone density, thin, brittle bones, decreased bone strength, and changes in bone structure that increase the risk of a bone fracture. Physical therapy can play a crucial role in managing osteoporosis and helping you maintain and build bone density through a customized therapeutic exercise program. Exercise places beneficial stress on your bones by directly loading the bone and increasing muscle mass, which places mechanical stress on the skeleton and strengthens your bones.

Female athlete triad involves three interrelated conditions: energy availability, bone mineral density, and the menstrual cycle. Energy availability is the cornerstone of the triad as low energy and nutrient deficiencies can lead to the development of low bone density and changes in the menstrual cycle in female athletes. Physical therapy can help to prevent or resolve female athlete triad, screening for triad risk as they treat female athletes, identify signs, address triad-related injuries, and educate athletes on proper health and fitness for their overall health and athletic training.

Exercise is a critical component of osteoporosis management. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become thin, brittle, and more susceptible to fractures. Exercise places beneficial stress on bones, causing them to thicken and grow stronger in response. Experts recommend combining weight-bearing exercise and strength training for optimal management of osteoporosis through exercise. A physical therapist cans guide osteoporosis patients through a customized, safe, and effective exercise program to combat osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis is a common bone condition characterized by low bone density, decreased bone strength, and thinning and weakening of the bone, which lessens the bone’s ability to withstand typical forces and increases the risk of fracture. Physical therapy plays an important role in preventing and managing osteoporosis through a customized therapeutic exercise program. Check out our infographic to learn more!

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.

Osteoporosis is a bone-weakening condition that increases the risk of bone fractures. Exercise, particularly weight-bearing exercise, is essential for preventing and treating osteoporosis. Physical therapy can help manage osteoporosis, maintaining bone density and preventing bone loss through a targeted exercise program.
