Osteoporosis Prevention and Treatment

A comprehensive osteoporosis treatment program includes a focus on both proper nutrition and exercise. Exercise is an important component of an osteoporosis prevention and treatment program. Exercise not only improves your bone health, but it increases muscle strength, coordination, and balance, and leads to better overall health. Exercise created for a person with osteoporosis or a person looking to prevent the onset of osteoporosis should not put sudden or excessive strain on your bones. Your physical therapist can recommend specific exercises to strengthen and support your bones and back.
