Osteoporosis Management

If you have been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia you would benefit from an individualized physical therapy program as part of managing this condition. Thinning and weakening of bone structure can involve various areas of the body including the spine and long bones. These areas are at increased risk for fracture as their density is compromised. Environmental and health habits can contribute to the advancement of this condition. An appropriate and individualized exercise regimen can be established to address your specific deficits and issues and treat your pain.

Maintaining proper posture, improving balance, strengthening surrounding musculature and education in proper biomechanics are areas where a physical therapist’s expertise can make a significant difference. Use us as a resource to help minimize the progression of osteoporosis and to provide education regarding this condition. Managing a diagnosis of osteoporosis is a long term process and a physical therapist should be part of your medical team.
