Osteoporosis is a condition where bones become weak and brittle. Osteopenia is the precursor—a midpoint where bone density is lower than normal but not yet osteoporosis.
The Silent Thief
These conditions are often called "silent" because there are typically no symptoms until a bone breaks.
Prevention and Management
- Calcium & Vitamin D: Essential nutrients for bone building.
- Weight-Bearing Exercise: Walking, hiking, and jogging help.
- Resistance Training: Lifting weights pulls on the bone, signaling the body to deposit more minerals and strengthen the structure.
At NeuroFit, we design safe, progressive loading programs to help clients improve bone density without risk of injury.
