Osteoporosis Education Night

Osteoporosis Education Night

Join us at Physio Labs in Ormeau, Queensland, for an informative and empowering evening dedicated to understanding and managing osteoporosis. This free education night is designed for seniors, individuals with osteoporosis risk factors, past patients, and those referred by GPs. Learn how to strengthen your bones, reduce fracture risks, and improve your quality of life through evidence-based strategies, including nutrition, lifestyle changes, medical management, and targeted exercise.

Backed by research like the LIFTMOR study, our experts will share practical tips and introduce our upcoming 12-week Osteoporosis Exercise Program starting September 29, 2025. Whether you're dealing with low bone density or want to prevent it, this event will equip you with the knowledge and tools to take control of your bone health.

Info: Overview of the evening, clinic expertise, and why bone health matters.

Info: Cover what osteoporosis is, key facts (e.g., affects 1.2 million Australians), risk factors, diagnosis (DEXA scans, T-scores), and how it affects daily life (e.g., fractures, height loss, falls prevention).

Info: Discuss nutrition (calcium, vitamin D), lifestyle changes, medications (antiresorptives, bone-forming drugs), and when to seek medical advice.

Info: Explore what works (high-intensity resistance training based on LIFTMOR study) vs. what doesn't, exercise prescriptions (5 sets, 5 reps at 50-85% intensity), and program details (12 weeks starting Sep 29, Tuesdays/Thursdays, assessments like FRAX and VALD tech). Share success stories and benefits (e.g., improved bone density, reduced fracture risk).

Info: Open floor for questions with all presenters. Enjoy light refreshments, register for the program, and connect with fellow attendees.
