Typical Symptoms:
Common Causes:
We utilize weight-bearing and resistance exercises that safely stimulate bone growth without overloading fragile areas. Balance training helps prevent falls, while education covers nutrition and posture. Many residents in Boynton Beach, Boca Raton, Lake Worth, and Wellington seek our guidance at Be On The Move to prevent fractures related to osteoporosis or osteopenia. Early sessions emphasize low-impact weight-bearing activities—like light walking or modified squats. Over time, we introduce safe resistance training for hips, knees, and spine to build bone mass. We also incorporate core stabilization and posture work to protect the spine during daily movements, reducing the risk of compression fractures.

Key Benefits:
Improvements in bone density can take months to years, but functional gains and fall prevention can be realized in a shorter time. With consistent follow-up and compliance to your strengthening routine, you may see better DEXA scan results and reduced fracture risk. In addition, practicing proper lifting techniques and posture daily helps maintain these benefits long-term.
Is it safe to lift weights with osteoporosis?
Yes, under professional guidance. Controlled resistance exercises help build bone density without high fracture risk.
Do I need a DEXA scan?
A bone density scan is often used to diagnose osteoporosis/osteopenia and track changes over time.
