Osteoporosis: How to Keep Your Bones Strong and Safe

Osteoporosis can make your bones weaker and more likely to break—but the good news is there are simple, proven ways to protect your bone health and stay active.

Exercise is key. Research shows that certain types of movement can help keep bones strong:

• Weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, or climbing stairs help stimulate bone growth.

• Strength training with weights, resistance bands, or even bodyweight exercises builds both muscles and bones.

• Balance and posture exercises reduce your risk of falls.

• Stretching and mobility work keep joints flexible and movement safe.

The best results come from regular, consistent practice—but it’s important to do it safely, especially if you already have low bone density.

Here’s where a professional can help. A physical therapist or certified trainer can assess your needs, create a safe, personalized program, and track your progress so you’re getting stronger without putting yourself at risk.

Take action today. Schedule a consultation to get a program tailored to you and start building stronger, safer bones for the long term.
