Osteoporosis and Exercise

What is osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is a disease that affects two thirds of Australians over 50 years old.

In osteoporosis the bones become porous and brittle, leading to an increased risk of fractures from falls – leading to reduced independence, muscle weakness, and decreased quality of life.

Osteoporosis occurs when bones lose minerals, particularly calcium, quicker than the body can replace them. Fortunately, bone is a dynamic tissue constantly remodelling, and with enough stimulus and nutrition, bone mass can be maintained.

Balance exercise tips

Balance is crucial for overall well-being and is essential in various aspects of daily life. Here are some key reasons highlighting the importance of balance

• Falls prevention
Maintaining good balance helps prevent falls, especially in older adults. Falls can lead to serious injuries, and having good balance can reduce the risk of accidents.

• Functional independence and quality of life
Balance is essential for performing daily activities such as walking, standing and reaching. It contributes to functional independence and the ability to carry out routine tasks with ease. It allows individuals to participate in a wide range of activities and experience a higher level of overall well-being.

• Posture and alignment
Balance is integral to maintaining correct posture and body alignment. It helps prevent musculoskeletal issues and reduces the strain on joints and muscles

• Athletic performance
Athletes in various sports require excellent balance for optimal performance. Whether it’s running, jumping, or making precise movements, a well-developed sense of balance enhances athletic abilities.

• Cognitive function
There is a connection between physical balance and cognitive function. Practicing activities that challenge balance can stimulate the brain and contribute to cognitive well-being.

How exercise can help manage endometriosis

Endometriosis is thought to affect one in nine Australian women by the age of 44, and is a disorder where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus is found growing outside of the uterus, commonly found within the pelvic region impacting areas such as the bowels, bladder, ovaries, intestines, and sometimes even kidneys or diaphragm. Endometriosis can present with symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, heavy bleeding in periods, fatigue, digestive issues, infertility, and a tense or weak pelvic floor.

This tissue can continue to act like endometrial tissue – bleeding and breaking down each cycle, causing scar tissue and adhesions. Endometriosis can have a negative impact on multiple aspects of a woman’s life, including physical, financial, relationships, as well as mental health. Currently there is no cure for endometriosis but rather management strategies including surgery, pain medication, physiotherapy, and exercise.
