Dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia?

Osteoporosis weakens bones, making them more likely to break. Fractures can lead

to persistent muscle and joint pain, postural changes, reduced balance and

confidence leading to increased risk of falling, breathing problems, loss of

independence and increased risk of death. Once an initial osteoporotic fracture

happens, the risk of further fractures increases.

However, it is manageable and deterioration can be slowed down with physiotherapy

forming an important component of the management of osteoporosis and

osteopenia. As well as alleviating pain and discomfort, our qualified physiotherapists
