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
