SUMMARY:Osteoporosis Exercise Program - Mondays 9:00am Shenton Park
DESCRIPTION:Term 4: Mon 12th October – Sun 13th December 2026 (9 weeks)\nClass Details:\nThe 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.  \nResearch 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.  \nThe 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.
