Osteoporosis is a pathology that needs our attention.
According to recent statistics from the International Osteoporosis Foundation, worldwide, 1 in 3 women over the age of 50 years and 1 in 5 men will experience osteoporotic fractures in their lifetime.
This means that we need to better understand the condition from risk factors, to what is actually happening to the bones, and how to prevent it.
In this theory and practical workshop, we’ll also cover implications and strategies for movement professionals that would like to help clients already diagnosed, or those with higher risk factors.
This workshop will show you how to modify exercises for older clients and how to promote bone production.
Suitable for all movement professionals and body workers interested in Osteoporosis and helping the older client. The main focus will be movement strategies.
