Physiotherapy for Osteoporosis Management
Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the weakening of bones, leading to a higher likelihood of injury due to falls or hard impact. The elderly over 65 years old are particularly at risk.
If you or your loved ones are susceptible to falls and injury, physiotherapy can help assess your physical condition and identify signs, causes and potential areas of weakness. See a doctor for physiotherapy treatment plans to help rectify problems such as poor balance, weak joints, lack of flexibility, and recommended remedies to reduce the risk of falling.
