Osteoporosis is a major cause of disability in older adults. It is a bone-weakening disorder, which often results in fractures in the hip and spine. These fractures can impair or completely disrupt mobility, causing older adults to lose their independence. Exercise is one way to help mitigate your risk of these life-altering injuries.
Bone is in fact living tissue, just like muscle, which responds to regular exercise by becoming stronger. Typically bone mass is at its highest during a person’s third decade. After the third decade of life, people can begin to lose bone density. OsteoStrong specializes in helping those who suffer from osteoporosis through a customized and effective exercise program. There are many benefits to our OsteoStrong program beyond Osteoporosis Workout Benefits. Here at OsteoStrong we can help with specific exercises and specially designed machines that will track your progress.
Below are some of the top benefits our OsteoStrong members experience.
Reduced Pain & Inflammation : Exercise is a great treatment for chronic pain. It can also help to decrease inflammation, decrease overall pain levels with no additional medication required. The OsteoStrong Exercise Program is no different.
Improved Mobility : When moving your joints in a full range of motion it helps keep your muscles working. OsteoStrong members enjoy keeping up with everyday activities and feeling more confident in their daily movement.
Increased Strength : By virtue of building bone, you will also be building muscle in our program. Our OsteoStrong members report increased strength to lift more items around the home and the garden.
Improved Bone Density : OsteoStrong exercises work directly on the bones in your legs, hips and lower spine to slow the process of mineral loss. Members who start our program with low dexa scan scores, come to us for weekly sessions to maintain and hopefully improve their score.
