Physiotherapy for Osteoporosis
Stronger bones. Confident movement.
Osteoporosis does not mean you need to stop moving. With the right guidance, you can build strength, improve balance and feel more confident in your body.
Book a Physio AppointmentExercise is one of the most important parts of managing osteoporosis.
Osteoporosis is often called a silent condition, but its impact can be life changing. It affects bone strength, increases fracture risk and can make people feel less confident with movement.
The problem is that many people are told to “be careful” without being shown how to move safely and effectively.
At Cadence Physio & Pilates, we help you build strength, improve balance and move with more confidence, so you can keep doing the things you love.
Australians are living with osteoporosis, contributing to more than 173,000 broken bones each year.
What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become less dense and more fragile over time. This can increase the risk of fractures, especially around the hip, spine and wrist.
It is more common after menopause and as we age, but bone health is something we can support at every stage.

How physiotherapy helps osteoporosis
Physiotherapy can help you exercise safely and progressively. Your plan is based on your body, your diagnosis, your strength and your goals.
To support muscle strength and help load the bones appropriately.
To help stimulate bone health in a safe and structured way.
To reduce falls risk and improve confidence with everyday movement.
To help you understand what to avoid, what to modify and what to build towards.
Because the goal is not just stronger bones. It is feeling safe and capable in your body.

If you have a bone density scan, specialist letter, GP referral, medication list or previous imaging, bring it along. If not, that is okay too.
