Osteoporosis & Arthritis

Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density that increases your risk of fractures. Combined with arthritis, the joint pain and the brittleness create a difficult cycle: people move less to avoid pain, which speeds bone loss further. The exercise prescription has to be precise — enough load to build bone, gentle enough to protect arthritic joints. That’s what we design.

Common causes of Osteoporosis & Arthritis

• Aging
• Being female
• Menopause
• Excessive caffeine or alcohol intake
• Long-term oral use of some medications such as cortisone, prednisone or anticonvulsants
• A family history of osteoporosis
• A slight body build (small bones) or low body weight
• Eating disorders such as anorexia
• Vitamin D deficiency
• Low calcium diet
• Smoking
