Exercise for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia
If you have osteoporosis or osteopenia, the right exercise program can help protect your bones. Our trainers know how to build strength safely for clients managing low bone density.
- Progressive resistance training to support bone strength, not just general toning
- Safe movement mechanics that avoid risky spinal positions
- Balance and fall-prevention work
- Programs built around your DEXA results and your doctor’s guidance
A landmark Australian study, the LIFTMOR trial, published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, backs up exactly what we’ve built our programming around. Appropriately heavy loading and impact training aren’t just tolerable for women with low bone density, they’re essential to slowing osteoporosis. For many women who followed the supervised program of progressive resistance and impact training, bone density actually improved at the spine and hip. It’s part of a growing body of research showing that the right kind of strength work makes a positive impact on aging bones.
You don’t have to choose between staying safe and getting stronger. We’ll help you do both.
Exercise for Reducing Fall Risk and Improving Balance
A fall can change everything. It can impact your confidence, independence, sense of what’s still possible.
Our staff at Back Cove Personal Fitness build balance work into every senior program, as a core piece of how we keep you strong and steady.
- Strength training for the muscles that keep you upright and steady
- Balance and stability drills tailored to your current ability
- Movement patterns that mirror real life : stairs, uneven ground, getting up from a chair
- Confidence-building progressions, so you’re never pushed past what feels safe
Falls are one of the biggest threats to staying independent as we age, but the risks can be minimized.
Don’t wait for a fall to take balance seriously.
