20TH OCTOBER - WORLD OSTEOPOROSIS DAY
Osteoporosis affects over 500 million people globally.!
It is a condition that weakens bones, making them more likely to break. It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to fracture.
And guess what, Peri and Menopause doesn't help LOL.
The most common injuries in people with osteoporosis are:
- broken wrist
- hip fracture
- broken vertebrae
The statistics are actually scary. The key is to exercise in the right way.
If you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, or you just want to educate yourself, join me for my Bone Health and balance workshop in Castleknock Community College on Saturday 22nd of November. You will learn what exercises are beneficial and how to modify your Pilates practice if you suffer from that condition.
