Bone Health: Stronger Bones, Safer Movement

As we age, our bones naturally lose density. For many adults—especially postmenopausal women—this can lead to conditions like osteopenia or osteoporosis, increasing the risk of fractures, spinal changes, and falls.

But here’s the good news: exercise is one of the most effective tools we have to maintain bone health.

At LIVE WELL, we focus on two types of exercise that are especially important for your bones:

• Weight-bearing exercises help stimulate bone growth by applying force through your skeleton.

• Resistance training puts controlled stress on bones through muscles and tendons, encouraging bones to strengthen over time.

Together, these types of movement:

• Help maintain  bone mineral density

• Improve balance and coordination, reducing fall risk

• Strengthen the muscles that support your skeleton

• Help prevent or slow the progression of osteoporosis

Our university-trained Kinesiologists have the expertise to design safe, effective programs for people living with osteoporosis. We understand how to protect vulnerable bones while still helping you build strength, confidence, and function.

Whether you’ve been diagnosed with bone loss or simply want to protect your skeleton as you age, we’re here to help you move safely—while maintaining the integrity of your bones.

Because strong bones mean more freedom to do the things you love—without fear.
