Osteoporosis affects millions of people, especially as we age. It causes bones to become thinner and more fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. But here’s the good news—exercise is one of the most effective ways to protect your bones and improve your quality of life.
At Dorset Physio, we believe in empowering you to stay strong, active, and confident. We have a strong partnership with Zone Fitness Gym to safely support those with osteoporosis or low bone density. Through tailored movement, we focus on:
• Strength training to build muscle and support bone density
• Balance and coordination work to reduce fall risk
• Weight-bearing exercises to stimulate bone growth
• Gentle rehab programs that adapt to your level and goals
Our expert physiotherapists will guide you every step of the way, whether you’re just starting out or looking to maintain your strength and independence.
If you’re living with osteoporosis—or just want to keep your bones healthy—get in touch to find out more about our exercise referral scheme to Zone Fitness Gym or try one of our supportive rehab classes. Let’s build strength, together.
