There is a lot of confusing information about what to do if
you've been diagnosed with
osteopenia or osteoporosis. For example, you've probably
heard that exercising is important,
but what are the best exercises to do? Medical evidence shows that
some common exercises,
such as sit-ups and toe touches, can actually put you at risk for
spinal fractures! Doing
the right exercises and making sure your diet supports skeletal
strength can significantly
help build bones and prevent injury.
Come to this important workshop taught by Joanne Fagerstrom, a bone
health specialist
and physical therapist, and see how you can take charge of your
bone health. The information
presented will be based on the latest evidence-based guidelines
from the medical community.
