Osteoporosis Exercise Program – Mondays 9:00am Shenton Park
Term 2: Mon 20th April – Sun 5th July 2026 (11 weeks)
No class on the 27 Apr and 1 Jun. Registration fee is for 9 weeks.
Class Details:
The Osteoporosis Exercise Class is a specialised program led by an experienced physiotherapist, designed for individuals diagnosed with osteoporosis or those who have experienced a first low-trauma fracture. Each session focuses on safe, targeted exercises that help strengthen bones, improve posture, and support overall mobility while also educating participants on a topic related to health.
Research shows that specific types of exercise, particularly progressive resistance training and weight-bearing activity, stimulate new bone growth and slow the loss of bone density. When applied appropriately, these exercises help to reduce the risk of falls and fractures, while also improving strength, coordination, and functional independence. Consistent, regular resistance training has been shown to significantly enhance quality of life for people living with osteoporosis.
The class includes a combination of resistance exercises, balance training, stretches, and selected higher-impact movements such as heel drops and jumps. Each exercise is carefully tailored to class needs and abilities, ensuring safety while maximising the benefits for bone health. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing, bring a water bottle, and work at their own pace in a welcoming and supportive environment.
