Osteoporosis, Strength and Safe Movement

Learn how exercise and physiotherapy may support strength, balance and function for people living with osteoporosis.

Osteoporosis affects bone strength and can influence how exercise and movement should be planned. Individual advice should take fracture history, risk factors, medical care and current function into account.

Why assessment matters

A clinician can discuss posture, balance, strength, movement confidence and activities that are important to you. Recommendations should align with your doctor’s guidance and any precautions related to vertebral or other fractures.

Exercise and everyday activity

Appropriately selected resistance, balance and functional exercise may form part of care for some people. Technique, load progression and fall prevention matter; avoid starting a new high-load program without suitable guidance.

Coordinate care

Share relevant imaging, fracture history, medications and advice from your treating doctor. Sudden severe back pain or a suspected fracture needs prompt medical assessment.

Important: This article is general educational information, not personal medical advice or a diagnosis. If you have symptoms that are severe, sudden, unexplained or worsening, seek appropriate medical assessment. In an emergency in Australia, call 000.
