Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more prone to fractures. Often called the “silent disease,” it progresses without symptoms until a break occurs, commonly in the hip, spine, or wrist. Agape Physical Therapy focuses on safe, customized exercise programs that improve bone density, enhance posture, build strength, and reduce fall risk to empower you to maintain independence and live confidently.
Symptoms:
- Gradual loss of height or a stooped posture
- Bone fractures from minor falls or stress
- Back pain from spinal compression fractures
- Generalized weakness or instability
- Decreased mobility and endurance
Causes of Osteoporosis:
- Age-related bone loss (especially post-menopause)
- Nutritional deficiencies (calcium, vitamin D)
- Sedentary lifestyle or lack of weight-bearing activity
- Long-term use of corticosteroids
- Family history or hormonal imbalances
