Osteoporosis / Osteopenia is a silent condition, simply because one of the first symptoms is a fracture. It affects bone density and mass, having the potential to be debilitating and life changing for both men and women. Increasing age, change in hormone concentrations and diet are risk factors associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Our goal is to help evaluate and initiate a plan to prevent onset and progression of this disease and promote healthy bone development. Your GP will assist in your diagnosis, arrange a Dexa scan which evaluates your bone health and together we will assist you in managing, protecting and promoting a healthier lifestyle. This will involve an exercise plan and possible dietary supplements as guided by your GP. For more information check in with your GP or have a chat with Julia or Ger.
