Osteoporosis and Physiotherapy In Scarborough
Understanding Osteoporosis and Bone Health
Bone is a dynamic and living tissue that constantly renews itself. Every day, your bones experience micro-damage, but your body naturally replaces it with new, stronger bone. As we age, the process of bone turnover slows down, which can lead to conditions like osteoporosis—where bones become brittle and fragile. Fortunately, exercise is proven to be one of the most effective ways to strengthen bones and improve bone density.
How Physiotherapy Can Help with Osteoporosis
Weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises are essential for maintaining healthy bones. At Body Motions Physiotherapy Clinic, our experienced physiotherapists will guide you through a personalized exercise routine aimed at improving your bone strength, enhancing your quality of life, and preventing further bone loss.
Osteoarthritis and Joint Health
In addition to osteoporosis, many people develop osteoarthritis, which can range from mild morning stiffness to severe pain that affects daily life. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in managing osteoarthritis and can provide significant pain relief, and in many cases, long-term improvement. Strengthening the muscles around aging joints helps to maintain their proper alignment, reducing pain and improving overall function.
It’s important to remember that even if X-rays or scans show joint damage, it doesn’t necessarily mean you will be in pain forever. Physiotherapy can help restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
