Osteoporosis can increase the risk of fractures, but physiotherapy can help improve strength, balance and confidence. Learn how staying active supports healthier bone.
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more likely to break after a minor fall or injury. It is most common in older adults, particularly after menopause, but it can affect anyone.
