WHAT TO EXPECT FROM YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY SESSIONS
Our physical therapists can help improve your bone health in various ways. We will start with a thorough evaluation and a biomechanical assessment to identify all the factors affecting your bone health and overall function. As part of our evaluation, we will conduct a detailed medical history to understand more about previous injuries, nutritional habits, and medical conditions contributing to your osteopenia or osteoporosis. Strength training, specifically weight-bearing exercises, has been proven to increase the density of bone and improve overall function. At FYZICAL, our comprehensive programs emphasize building your strength and improving your balance and coordination to reduce your risk of falls. This will include targeted exercises that address your individual needs. Our programs also include the Juvent micro-vibration treatments that have also been shown to increase bone density and assist in maintaining and, in some cases, reversing osteoporosis. The Juvent unit distributes low-impact mechanical impulses across the body and helps stimulate bone health, increases circulation, and helps improve your balance. Your FYZICAL physical therapist will then incorporate osteoporosis- specific treatments with a “return to function” progression to assist you in a safe return to daily activities and beyond. Our programs include injury prevention strategies, nutritional guidance, and interventions to improve mobility and reduce the risk of falls. Request an appointment at FYZICAL today!
