When it comes to osteoporosis, what you DO is as important as what you DON'T DO.

Your feet and ankles are the foundation for your entire body and must be able to properly support you as you move about your day. Stiff or weak feet and ankles are major contributors to poor balance and gait issues.

Almost any movement that uses your legs relies on your knees. Just like the feet and ankles, the knees support your body when you stand and move. They help to stabilize you and maintain your balance.

Core stability is defined as the ability to control the position and motion of the trunk over the pelvis to allow optimum movement. A weak, under-recruited core may result in inefficient movements and altered posture, leading to injury (e.g., fragility fractures).

Hyperkyphosis (excessive rounding of the upper back) leads to a number of health problems, including impaired breathing and increased risk of falls and fractures.

Wrist strength, shoulder mobility and the relationship between posture and the position of the arm in the shoulder socket.

Traditional core strengthening exercises not only shorten the front body muscles, but they also flex the spine with force and speed which can lead to vertebral fracture. Learn how to strengthen your core safely and effectively.

Proper pressure generated during twisting has a strengthening effect on the vertebral column and the muscles that support the spine. Learn how to safely twist to protect the spine.

Regular practice will increase your body awareness and movement skills, and improve your balance and coordination. It will also help you develop healthy feelings of physical strength and confidence in your ability to self-care and live independently.
