𦴠OSTEOPOROSIS: Are you looking after your bones?
Did you know that osteoporosis can cause bones to become weaker and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures?
The good news is that there are steps you can take to support your bone health! πͺ
𦴠5 ways to help keep your bones strong:
πΆββοΈ Keep moving β weight-bearing activities such as walking can help support bone health.
ποΈ Build strength β resistance exercises help maintain muscle strength and support your bones.
π₯ Get enough calcium β important for maintaining healthy bones.
βοΈ Don't forget vitamin D β it helps your body absorb calcium.
βοΈ Work on your balance β balance and strength exercises can help reduce your risk of falls.
π How can we help?
At Osteopathy and Therapy in Low Fell, we can help you explore suitable exercises to improve strength, balance, mobility and confidence, taking your individual needs and fracture risk into account.
If you have osteoporosis, exercise should be tailored to you. Some movements, particularly repeated or heavily loaded bending and twisting of the spine, may need modification.
