BONES NEED EXERCISE
“When it comes to bones we know exercise can benefit people throughout their life - by growing bigger stronger bones in childhood, improving bones throughout adulthood and preventing falls that can lead to fracture as we age.”
Professor Belinda Beck
Director, The Bone Clinic
NOT ALL EXERCISE IS CREATED EQUAL
But not all exercise is effective. Research has demonstrated that only certain types of exercise improve bone health. Healthy Bones Program is an osteoporosis treatment based on exercise designed specifically to prevent osteoporotic fracture by stimulating bone development and preventing falls in at-risk individuals.
