Maintaining good bone density is essential for overall health, as our skeletal system provides structure, enables movement, protects vital organs, produces blood cells, and stores essential minerals. Poor bone density can weaken bone structure, increasing the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis if left untreated.
In Australia, 1 in 5 women and 1 in 20 men over 50 are affected by osteoporosis, either directly or indirectly. Often undetected until a low-impact or non-traumatic fracture occurs, osteoporosis can lead to loss of independence and increased reliance on family, friends, or carers. It can also reduce physical function, limiting the ability to work, participate in activities, or even engage with the local community.
Bone mineral density (BMD) develops from early adolescence and peaks in our late 20s, making it crucial to adopt bone-strengthening habits early and maintain them throughout life.

Preventing low bone density is ideal, but if you’ve been identified as at risk or diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis, we can help strengthen your bones through our small-group, individualised exercise classes.
These classes are specifically designed to promote bone growth, with participants undergoing an initial assessment to evaluate their ability and skill level.
This assessment forms the foundation of a 10-week program, tailored to each individual and led by one of our skilled physiotherapists, who have extensive exercise backgrounds.
Our classes focus on weight-bearing activities and progressive strength exercises to help improve:
🦴 Bone density – Strengthening bones to reduce the risk of osteoporosis.
💪 Muscle mass – Building strength and supporting overall mobility.
⚖️ Balance – Enhancing stability to prevent falls.
🏋️ Posture – Promoting proper alignment and reducing strain.
🌟 Confidence – Empowering you to stay active and independent.
⚡ Energy levels – Boosting vitality for daily activities.
🚑 Risk of fractures from falls – Minimising the likelihood of injuries through stronger bones and muscles.
