Osteoporosis is a disease in which the bones
become extremely porous, are subject to
fracture, and heal slowly. The type of fractures
most common with osteoporosis are compression
fractures in the vertebrate of the spine, and
hip fractures. Osteoporosis typically occurs in
women following menopause and often leads to
increased curvature of the spine from vertebral
collapse. At Ability Physical Therapy patients
are taught the importance of proper posture and exercise to combat and correct for the affects of this
condition. Individual exercise instruction is given for protection of the spine and work to prevent fractures.
