Osteoporosis is a disease which reduces bone density, leaving bones brittle and susceptible to fracture under high-impact incidents such as falls. Hips, wrists and the spine are the common areas where osteoporosis occurs, with sufferers often experiencing serious consequences after a fall. Over half of the Australians aged 50 or above have osteoporosis or osteopenia (bone weakness), and poor bone health contribute to more than 173,000 fractures annually. Our bone health exercise program can help.
Maintaining healthy bones is essential to combat osteoporosis and osteopenia. Bone health exercises utilise weight bearing exercise to stimulate bone development, improve bone health and reduce the risk of bone density loss. In addition, at Wellness Embodied, nutrition advice can also be provided by our degree-qualified naturopath – including calcium and vitamin D intake strategies – to keep your bones strong.
Our bone health exercise program utilizes different high-intensity weight-bearing exercises and impact exercises to improve bone and muscle strength. It is led by our physiotherapists or exercise physiologists, who can provide advice and feedback with your exercise techniques to ensure maximum effect and safety. We also practice different balance exercises to maximise your balance and minimise your risk of falling, and obtaining fractures.
