Osteoporosis is a silent condition until break
Osteoporosis is silent. It is not painful
It is the fracture that is painful
Osteoporosis in the absence of fractures gives no symptoms

Vertebral compression fractures (multiple and severe)
• Back pain – acute and chronic
• Height loss and curvature
• Activities of daily living affected; eating, breathing and mobility

Prevention of osteoporosis
Things you cannot fix
non modifiable risk factors
Age, gender, family history
![Page 11: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Modifiable risk factors
WEIGHT
Women with very low body weight have twice the rate of fractures
![Page 12: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Modifiable risk factors
SMOKING
Women – greater risk of hip fractureBone density declines by a further 2% per decade in smokersMen – lower BMD at hip
![Page 13: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Modifiable risk factors
DIETLink with pre-menopausal intake and BMDCurrent calcium intake weakly associated with BMD

Modifiable risk factors
EXERCISEPositive correlation between BMD and activity levels in young femalesAlso seen in females 50-75years

What is exercise? • Physical activity defined as -
any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure
• Physical activity benefits - reduce risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, colon and breast cancer, and depression; adequate levels of physical activity decrease the risk of hip or vertebral fracture and help control weight
• Exercise is -planned/structured physical activity with an ultimate goal
![Page 17: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Why Exercise?• Bone is our body’s scaffolding and adapts to different stresses – muscular pull
and loading stress
• Muscle pulls on bone in order to produce movement - being a living tissue, bone adapts to the muscular pull by growing
• It does this all the time – therefore, any increase in muscle activity will result in increases in bone strength
• Likewise when bone bears weight it adapts to this loading; increased load - within reason - results in increased bone density
• Exercise can also promote muscle strengthening and joint mobility/stability
![Page 18: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Types of Exercise • Weight-bearing – any exercise in which you support your own
body weight; can be low/high impact - needs to be selected based on the individual and their diagnosis
• Muscle strengthening – can be directed to improve specific area of strength or balance/joint support e.g. spinal
• Postural exercises
• Mobility exercises – joint specific e.g. spinal; post-fracture
• Balance re-education
![Page 19: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Aims of Exercise – address the individuals problems• Relieve stiffness
• Improve posture
• Increase muscle/bone strength
• Reduce risk of a fall/improve balance
• Prevent fractures/manage post-fracture
• Reduce or control pain
• Increase general fitness/improve mental health
![Page 20: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Getting started• Must be exercise i.e. planned and structured
• Regular to get best benefits – 30 minutes a day, 5 times per week – 2 days per week should include muscle strengthening
• Important to start slowly and build up – warm up
• Be specific – meet the individuals goals, within the scope of their ability/diagnosis/PMHx
• Benefits outweigh risks – fractures/falls
![Page 21: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Specifics – low risk • Whilst swimming and cycling will improve mobility, strength and
cardiovascular health, they are non-weight bearing exercises so will not build bone density
• Aim brisk walking, stair climbing, jumping, skipping, weight programs – exercise classes that incorporate high impact weight-bearing, flexibility and balance/co-ordination exercises
• Pain management – hydrotherapy, mobility/strengthening exercises
• Posture - sitting, standing, lying; Pilates, Tai-Chi, Yoga; regularly break up prolonged postures
![Page 22: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Low risk - avoid• High impact exercises at beginning
• Trunk flexion – toe touching
• Trunk twisting, especially when holding weight e.g. kettlebells, some simple ADL’s
• Lifting
• Activities that may increase falls risk e.g. horse riding
![Page 23: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Specifics – medium risk• Similar to low risk with focus on strength training with body weight
• Weight-bearing aerobic exercises – side-stepping, knee lifting, hip abductions, dancing
• Flexibility exercises
• Focus on balance and gait re-education
![Page 24: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Medium risk - avoid• High impact, fast-moving exercises – jumping,
running, skipping
• Exercises in which you bend forward and twist – toe touches, sit-ups
![Page 25: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Specifics – high risk• Focus is on reducing risk of fall/management post-
fracture
• Balance exercises – narrow base, single leg, heel toe walk; Tai-Chi
• Strengthening – hip/ankle specific
• Hydrotherapy – pain management, mobility, strengthening
![Page 26: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Pitfalls • Bending – e.g. toe touches; increased risk of vertebral fractures due to
uneven vertebrae loading
• Twisting – particularly when holding weight; risk of spinal fractures/falls
• Combined flexion, rotation and side flexion
• Trampolining, walking poles, technology – no evidence
• Manual therapy - increased risk of vertebral fractures
• Lumbar jackets - increased fracture risk
• Exercise programme needs to be specific to the individual – respect their baseline, diagnosis, PMHx

Will exercise strengthen my bones ? What do I need for my hip, my spine, my wrists?
What types, how often, for how long and how ‘intense’? (Will walking strengthen my spinal bones?) If I have osteoporosis on a scan will this exercise be safe or cause fractures? Can I jump and jog? What if I osteopenia?
Can I carry on with normal daily activities and movements such as bending down?What about golf, Pilates, yoga or horse riding – will they cause me to fracture?
Common helpline questions
![Page 41: Safe exercise and osteoporosis](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022051503/5a659ec87f8b9a38648b4795/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Lack of certainty (HP and people with fractures or at risk)
Lack of evidence
No consistent messages consensus – confusion for people especially those with a ‘diagnosis’ or fractures
Are fit/well people doing enough or the right type of exercise ?
Are those with spinal fractures getting exercise advice to help with pain and posture?
Are people frightened into less or no activity?
Are those who are less mobile or well getting help to get started?
Exercise and physical activitythe issues
