Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis can lead to weak bones and fractures, but we’re here to help you strengthen and protect your bones. Half of women and a quarter of men over the age of 50 will face an osteoporosis-related fracture, but physical therapy can help reduce that risk. We work with you to develop a plan that not only prevents further bone loss but also strengthens the muscles around weakened bones to improve your stability. Together, we’ll focus on exercises that enhance your balance and reduce your risk of falls, so you can stay active and independent for years to come.
