Build strength from within — protect your bones today for a stronger tomorrow
Improve your bone health, resilience and age strong with our Bone Health services in our Melbourne city based studio.
Bones are living tissue that are constantly remodelling, and form the skeleton for your muscles to attach to. They also help protect vital organs in your body. When bone density decreases our risk of fracture increases. Fractures can have detrimental effects on mobility and function, independence, quality of life and overall health and wellbeing.
Some populations are at an increased risk of reduced bone density (known as Osteoporosis) including:
- Those aged over 50 years
- Those with a family history of Osteoporosis
- Women going through and have been through menopause
- Certain medical conditions and treatments (eg. coeliac disease, diabetes, certain cancers and treatments, anorexia nervosa and corticosteroid medications)
- Those with low calcium intake and vitamin D levels.
It is particularly important for these populations to address their bone health.
How our Bone Health services can help you
How our Physiotherapists can help improve your bone density
- Physical activity and exercise, specifically weight-bearing exercise, resistance training and balance training, play an important role in supporting bone health and reducing the risk of falls and fractures. This type of exercise is particularly important for people with low bone density including those diagnosed with both osteopaenia and osteoporosis.
- Your Physiotherapist can help develop an individualised program based on your physical condition and goals to help promote strong, healthy bones in a safe manner. Importantly, exercise and activity must be ongoing to have long-term benefits.
