Osteoporosis is a bone disease that causes the bones to become fragile; therefore, increasing the risk for fracture. Some risk factors are: not getting enough exercise 🏃♂️, family history, long-term use of some medications, smoking , excess alcohol 🍷, and diets low in calcium and Vitamin D.
Physical therapy can help build strong muscles 💪to support your bones, and certain exercises can help with improving the strength of the bone. They are usually exercises that are low-impact and bear weight through both arms and legs.
This is just one of many exercises that can help improve strength for those with osteoporosis.
