Osteoporosis

Exercise physiology plays a crucial role in the management and prevention of osteoporosis. Regular physical activity, particularly specific types of exercise, can help improve bone density, enhance muscle strength, and improve balance, thereby reducing the risk of falls and fractures.

Benefits of Exercise for Osteoporosis

  • Medical Clearance: Patients should obtain medical clearance before starting an exercise program, especially if they have severe osteoporosis or other health conditions.

  • Individualised Exercise Prescription: Exercise programs should be tailored to the individual’s bone health status, overall fitness level, and specific needs.

  • Proper Technique: Emphasizing proper form and technique is crucial to avoid injury. This includes using correct lifting techniques in strength training.

  • Gradual Progression: Starting with low-intensity exercises and gradually increasing intensity and duration helps ensure safety and effectiveness.

  • Monitor Symptoms: Patients should be educated on recognizing symptoms such as pain or discomfort and advised to stop exercise and consult a healthcare provider if they occur.
