Introduction to Bone Health Week Lecture:
Achieving and maintaining healthy bones throughout one’s life is an important component to optimizing one’s health span. Osteoporosis is an all too common condition that both men and women face (especially in the post menopausal year). However, when it comes to addressing one’s bone health, the sooner really is the better.

In this lecture we will outline the differences between osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and osteopenia. Also to be discussed are current concepts around exercise for men and women with osteopenia, osteoporosis; do’s and don’ts; safety and empowerment. We will also introduce and explain our practical exercise offerings for the rest of the week at the lecture.
