BE STRONG BONE CLINIC &BONE HEALTH CLASSES
At Be Strong Physio, we are proud to offer the Sunshine Coast our Be Strong Bone Clinic and Bone Health Classes.
​​
Our classes in our bone clinic are designed to help you build stronger bones (improve bone mineral density), improve your strength, and stay active and independent for longer.
​​
WHY Bone Health matterS
Bone density naturally declines as we age. This can increase the risk of fractures, osteoporosis, and loss of independence.
​
Strong bones are essential for:
• Maintaining mobility and balance
• Reducing fracture risk
• Staying active and confident in daily life
• Supporting long term health and independence
​
The good news is that bone density can be improved and maintained with the right approach.
​
WHY RESISTANCE TRAINING matterS
Resistance training is one of the most effective ways to improve bone density.
Resistance and impact training are some of the most effective ways to improve bone density. When your muscles pull on your bones and your body experiences load, impact, and movement forces such as bending and twisting, this creates a stimulus for your bones to become stronger over time.
There is often confusion around the “best” way to train for bone health.
Some research, including the LIFTMOR trial, has shown benefits from higher load strength training using lower repetition ranges. However, other high quality research shows that both higher and lower load training can improve bone density, as long as the exercises are challenging.
The most important factors are:
• Progressive overload
• Exercises that are challenging for you
• A program tailored to your current capacity
• Consistency over time​
