Osteoporosis Rehabilitation
Personalized Osteoporosis Assessment
Your rehabilitation journey begins with a comprehensive assessment of your current bone health, posture, muscle strength, and risk factors for fractures. Our physiotherapists will review your medical history, discuss your lifestyle, and assess your physical abilities to create a tailored plan that meets your specific needs and goals.
Strength Training for Bone Health
Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are crucial for improving bone density and overall strength. Our strength training programs focus on safe, controlled movements that target the muscles and bones most prone to osteoporosis-related fractures. These exercises help to stimulate bone growth, enhance muscle strength, and improve joint function, all of which are essential for maintaining an active lifestyle with osteoporosis.
Balance and Fall Prevention Programs
Improving balance is critical for individuals with osteoporosis to prevent falls, which are a leading cause of fractures. Our balance training programs are designed to enhance stability, coordination, and reflexes, reducing your risk of falling. We also provide practical advice on making your home environment safer to further prevent falls.
Posture Correction and Flexibility Exercises
Poor posture, especially a forward-leaning posture (kyphosis), can increase the risk of fractures in individuals with osteoporosis. Our physiotherapists work with you to correct your posture and improve flexibility through exercises that strengthen the spine, reduce tension, and promote a more upright, balanced posture. This not only helps prevent fractures but also relieves discomfort and improves overall mobility.
Fracture Recovery and Rehabilitation
If you have experienced a fracture due to osteoporosis, our physiotherapy team is here to support you through your recovery. We provide gentle rehabilitation exercises designed to restore mobility, strength, and function in the affected area, helping you recover safely and efficiently. Our fracture recovery programs focus on preventing further injury while enhancing your overall bone health.
Education on Bone Health and Lifestyle Modifications
We believe that education is key to managing osteoporosis effectively. Our physiotherapists provide guidance on nutrition, lifestyle modifications, and daily activities that promote bone health. This includes advice on proper body mechanics, safe movement techniques, and tips for incorporating bone-healthy habits into your everyday routine.
