Osteoporosis: Prevention and Rehab

Twenty-eight million Americans, 80% of which are women, have osteoporosis or osteopenia. Osteoporosis is a disease that affects people of all ages, gender, and ethnic background. It results in reduced bone mass which creates fragile bones and increases risk for fractures.

Ask your doctor if you experience these early signs
  • Decrease in height
  • Protruding abdomen
  • Postural Change
  • Fractures

Areas Commonly Affected
  • Wrists
  • Hips
  • Spinal bones
  • Ribs

Can I Prevent Osteoporosis?

You can maximize bone strength during childhood, adolescence, and early adulthood to prevent osteoporosis. Maximizing bone strength during these years allows you to have plenty of bone growth, and allows your skeleton to hold out against natural bone loss later in life. Eat a balanced, calcium-rich diet and do weight-bearing exercises to reduce your risk for osteoporosis.

Why Try Physical Therapy

A physical therapist can help with osteoporosis rehabilitation and management. Physical therapy rehab can be helpful both before and after a fracture happens.A physical therapist can develop a personalized treatment plan that combines low-impact weight-bearing exercises, strength training, body mechanics and postural training, and fall prevention education.

With a physical therapist’s help, you will learn new ways to safely complete everyday activities like driving, washing the dishes, putting on your clothes, exercising, etc.
