Osteoporosis Workshop MAY 11th

Managing Osteoporosis can be physically and emotionally draining. It may be a life changing diagnosis for yourself and family but once you have received the diagnosis you can work with your health care team to improve your quality of life.

Osteoporosis is caused by a decrease in your bone density and is a disease that makes your bones brittle and prone to breaking. It is a silent disease and often has no symptoms, with many people being unaware they have it until they have broken or fractured a bone.

So where does Physiotherapy and Remedial Massage come into it?

Our therapists are experts, they can,

• Assist with healing and pain management following fractures
• Improve movement and function
• Improve balance and co-ordination
• Fall prevention education
• Exercise programs to increase strength

The information on social media and the internet can be over-whelming and what suits someone else may not be correct for you. By making an appointment with the Physiotherapist you can be assessed and provided with your own individual management plan including specific exercises to ensure you that you're doing what is best for your body.
