Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones of the spine or hip become fragile and increase the susceptibility of these bones to fractures. It is estimated that 10 million of the US population are currently diagnosed with osteoporosis and 34 million have low bone mass. Through our Osteoporosis Program, your therapist will work one-on-one with you in designing and supervising an exercise program to manage and increase bone mass. The program is tailored to each persons specific needs based on the diagnosis given by the medical doctor and bone density exams. The program entails a blend of postural assessment and education, balance training, strengthening exercises, and breathing and relaxation techniques.
