At Longevity Exercise Physiology, we understand how osteoporosis can impact your life, from limited mobility to an increased risk of fractures. The good news? With the right exercise plan, you can build stronger bones, improve balance, and live life to the fullest. Let’s explore how exercise can help combat osteoporosis and how Longevity can be your trusted partner in this journey.
What Is Osteoporosis and Why Does It Matter?
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break. It often develops silently over time, with many people unaware they have it until they experience a fracture—commonly in the hip, wrist, or spine.
According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, over 924,000 Australians live with osteoporosis, with women over 50 being particularly at risk. However, osteoporosis isn’t just a “woman’s condition”; men can develop it too. Causes include:
- Ageing, as bone density naturally decreases with age
- Hormonal changes, such as reduced Oestrogen in women after menopause
- Poor dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D
- Sedentary lifestyles
If you or someone you love is affected by osteoporosis, keep reading to discover how exercise can transform your health and support your longevity.
The Benefits of Exercise for Osteoporosis
Exercise is one of the most effective ways to manage osteoporosis and protect your bones. By incorporating the right types of physical activity, you can:
- Increase bone density: Weight-bearing and resistance exercises stimulate bone growth.
- Improve balance and coordination: Reducing your risk of falls and fractures.
- Strengthen muscles: Offering greater support to your bones and joints.
- Boost overall well-being: Enhancing your mood, energy levels, and independence.
At Longevity, we specialise in creating personalised exercise plans that focus on safe, effective movements designed to build bone strength and improve your quality of life.
