Osteoporosis is a reduction in bone mass which causes bones to become fragile. When bones are fragile they are at a greater risk for fracture. Peak bone density is developed in youth. Inadequate bone development can lead to common bone injuries in the child/teen athlete population as well as seniors. This lecture by a physical therapist will introduce the treatments available with a focus on lifestyle habits, nutrition and exercise, to promote gaining bone mass and stronger bones. This class will be appropriate and helpful for athletes, teens, adults, elderly and anyone cooking for children/others.
