What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis means the bones have become less dense and more likely to break. Physiotherapy helps with safe, weight-bearing and strengthening exercise that supports bone and muscle, and with balance training that lowers the risk of falls and fractures. Your physiotherapist tailors the exercises so they are safe for your bones, and advises which loaded spinal flexion or twisting movements to avoid where fracture risk is high.

When to seek urgent care
Physiotherapy is safe for most people, but see a doctor urgently if you have any of these:
- Sudden severe back pain, which can signal a spinal fracture
- Pain and inability to bear weight after a fall
- A noticeable new change in posture or height
- New leg weakness or numbness, or loss of bladder or bowel control, which needs urgent care
Do not book physiotherapy for emergency symptoms. Seek urgent medical care first, then use physiotherapy when it is safe and appropriate.
