Osteoporosis First Physiotherapy Appointment with Bex.
OR
£115 for 75 minutes appointment
Extended appointments are recommended for those of you with more complex health history or preferring to take things a little slower during the appointment.
The nature of Osteoporosis is that there are always many questions about safe movement patterns, lifestyle, medication, understanding DEXA results, and of course exercise. We will discuss your concerns and put a plan together whether its education on how to lift your grandchild, what machines to use in the gym, or are free weights better? How to regain muscles, balance or posture following a fracture. Whether you are 55 newly diagnosed and confused about what to do next, or 85 with multiple fractures there is potential to build stronger fitter bones.
During the session we will take a thorough medical history, talk about current exercise (it's OK if there is lack of!), look at DEXA results, any other X-rays or scans, and do a movement assessment. Talk about anything that may be limiting your current regime: pain, motivation, understanding of Osteoporosis. We will then discuss the do's and don't of safe movement to stop anything you may be doing to compromise your spine or hips, including discussion about how you lift, work, hobbies or sleep at home. We will discuss how to improve the quality and quantity of your bones to stop fractures. It's really important to get good quality bones, and this is gained through putting the right stressed onto the bone to form an interesting and resilient bone matrix (architecture of the inside of the bone).
From here, we will make a plan, based on the latest evidence and guideline. Whether you prefer to follow a home exercise plan focused on improving balance, posture or using small weights, or joining one of the Stronger Fitter Bones classes or hitting the gym together for a one to one session or joining the SFB Lift & Load sessions. Or perhaps we need to work on reducing pain to free up movement potential, with some hands on clinical massage.
My aim is for you to leave being heard and feeling really positive and in control.
