Exercise For Older Adults Is Essential Part Of Osteoporosis Treatment

Moderate, regular exercise for older adults is an essential part of any osteoporosis treatment program.However, any program should be undertaken with your doctor or physical therapist’s advice and guidance and should be begun slowly.

Incorporate balance and functional training into your cardiovascular and strength regimen; don’t just increase the amount of work you do – change the mix.  Remember, you can do more harm than good by doing strength exercises too often.  Don’t exercise the same set of muscles 2 days in a row.
