OSTEOPOROSIS, OSTEOPENIA, SARCOPENIA PROGRAMS

DO NOT WAIT - REGISTER TODAY FOR OUR NEXT
“NUTRITION FOR STRONG, HEALTHY BONES” and/or
"EXERCISE FOR OSTEOPOROSIS” EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM!

Bones form the physical foundation of our body - the skeleton. The process of building a strong skeleton begins in the womb with good nutrition and movement - yes, we were kicking and punching long before we were born! We must follow good nutritional practices, establish an active lifestyle, and avoid bad habits throughout our childhood - and into adulthood - to maintain the strength and integrity of our bones and muscles throughout our lifetime.

Osteoporosis is a pediatric disease with geriatric consequences. Regardless of your gender or age (<20, 30, 50, 70+...) you should be concerned about the current health of your bones. Unfortunately, many people do not think about bone health until they experience a bone fracture or are presented with a diagnosis of Osteopenia or Osteoporosis. At that point, they are often left to their own devices to find out as much as they can about these bone diseases.

Having done their own research, some people are thirsty for more information. Some people still feel they are uncertain about what types of Exercise they should do, and are not sure what specific exercises are appropriate, safe, and effective for them. Other people still have questions about Bone formation, Nutrition, and Medications specifically related to Osteopenia and Osteoporosis.

We can help! Our educational programs are designed to help you make sense of the available information and better understand it so you can move forward and continue to lead the active, healthy life you want. 

Our “Exercise Strategies for Osteoporosis” program focuses on the EXERCISE component of living with Osteopenia or Osteoporosis. It is a sequel to our original 6-week program and is geared toward those who feel they already have a good understanding of Osteopenia, Osteoporosis, and Sarcopenia, but are not sure what type of activities, or exercises, are safe and effective to include in cardiovascular and progressive resistance programs geared toward preserving bone density, increasing strength, and decreasing the risk of falls. This 4-week in-person program includes three important components:
1) Comprehensive education via discussion, slides, participant booklet, and movement
2) In-depth discussions about safe and effective exercises and options. You will learn about - and practice:
     > Proper exercise posture, form, alignment and technique
     > Balance and Stability exercises and strategies to reduce the risk of falling
     > Weight bearing exercises/activities and progressive resistance training
     > Exercises that may be risky or contraindicated for people who have Osteopenia or Osteoporosis. Safer alternatives will be
        presented.
     > Activity segments to highlight safe exercise alternatives and movement options
3) Homework: Exercises to do at home to progress and build accountability between program meetings
This program is offered at 20% off the regular price as an extension to Osteoporosis Awareness Month!
