Osteoporosis Physiotherapy in Indirapuram

Why it matters

Osteoporosis often causes no symptoms until a fracture occurs, commonly in the wrist, hip or spine. Spinal fractures can cause height loss, a stooped posture and back pain. Women after menopause, older adults, people on long-term steroids, and those with low body weight or family history are at higher risk.

A bone density scan (DEXA) diagnoses it. Medical treatment, calcium and vitamin D are often recommended.

Exercise for bone health

Bones respond to load. Progressive strength training and impact exercise (where appropriate) can help maintain or improve bone density. Balance training reduces falls, which is just as important as bone strength in preventing fractures.

Safe movement

People with osteoporosis, especially with previous spinal fractures, may be advised to avoid heavy loaded forward bending and twisting. We teach safe ways to lift, bend and move, and adapt exercises to your bone health.

Falls prevention

We assess strength, balance, footwear, vision and home hazards. Simple changes, like grab rails, good lighting and removing loose rugs, reduce fall risk significantly.
