Physical Therapy in Bellingham, Washington.

Posture exercises are crucial for individuals with osteoporosis because they help strengthen the muscles that support the spine, improving alignment and reducing the risk of fractures. Poor posture, especially forward slumping, can increase pressure on weakened bones, particularly in the spine, leading to compression fractures. By enhancing core strength, flexibility, and body awareness, posture exercises help maintain an upright, balanced stance, preventing falls and promoting better bone health.

If you have osteopenia or osteoporosis, then you need to work daily on your posture. Strong scapular, lower trapezius, and rotator cuff muscles are a MUST! Learn how to strengthen your postural muscles at home, without any special equipment. Please let me know if you have any questions,
