World Osteoporosis Awareness Day

1/5 women and 1/20 men over 50 years of age will receive a diagnosis of osteoporosis. Many people don’t even know they have it until they fracture a bone.

Let’s change that! Prevention is your best defense.

Make sure you get enough Calcium and Vitamin D in your diet (natural sources are always better than supplements). And, make sure you include high or low impact weight bearing exercise, resistance/strength training, and functional and postural exercises in your daily movement program.

At VMPT Well we utilize Pilates AND individualized functional exercise to get and keep you healthy. As PTs, we can teach you which exercises are most beneficial and which ones should be avoided. #choosept
