    Take action before a fracture

    Don't wait for a fracture to act

    An estimated 300,000 people in Ireland are living with osteoporosis β€” and many more are in the early stages without knowing it. The right exercise, guided by a chartered physiotherapist, is one of the most powerful tools available to slow bone loss, improve balance, and reduce your risk of falls and fractures.

    Both osteoporosis and osteopenia are highly treatable. The earlier you start, the better your outcome.

    The science β€” LIFTMOR Trial, Griffith University

    Heavy lifting is one of the most effective tools for building bone

    The landmark LIFTMOR trial found that postmenopausal women with low bone mass who performed high-intensity resistance and impact training β€” including squats, deadlifts, and overhead presses β€” achieved significant improvements in bone mineral density at the spine and hip. Participants also showed measurable gains in strength and functional balance, with no serious adverse events.

    +3.2% Lumbar spine BMD
    +1.6% Femoral neck BMD
    0 Serious adverse events

    How We Help

    A comprehensive, physio-led programme designed specifically around your bone health β€” from detailed assessment through to ongoing 1:1 strength training and progress tracking.

    πŸ“‹

    Detailed Specific Assessment

    We take a number of measurements specifically related to bone and musculoskeletal health, giving us a precise, personalised baseline to build your programme from.

    🦴

    Body Composition Testing β€” BIA

    We measure Bone Mass (%), Muscle Mass (%) and Metabolic Age using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) β€” fast, non-invasive, and tracked at every session so you can see real progress over time.

    πŸ“Š

    DEXA Scan Interpretation & Planning

    The gold standard for measuring bone density is a DEXA scan. We help you understand your results and put a clear, evidence-based plan in place to help you improve your bone density over time.

    Common Questions

    Yes. As our sessions are provided by CORU-registered chartered physiotherapists, they can be claimed through all major Irish health insurers including VHI, Laya Healthcare, Irish Life Health, and GloHealth. Sessions are also eligible for tax relief under the Med 1 scheme, saving you up to 75% per session.

    Yes β€” and it is one of the most important things you can do. The key is having the right type of exercise, prescribed and supervised by a chartered physiotherapist who understands your condition. We design programmes specifically for people with osteoporosis, avoiding movements that increase fracture risk while maximising the bone-building benefits of exercise.

    Osteopenia refers to lower than normal bone density, while osteoporosis is a more advanced condition where bones have become significantly weakened and fragile. Both are diagnosed using a DEXA scan. Osteopenia does not always progress to osteoporosis, especially with the right exercise and lifestyle interventions β€” which is why early action is so important.

    No referral is required. If you have already had a DEXA scan, please bring your results as they are extremely helpful in designing your programme. If you haven’t had one, we can advise you on how to get one through your GP and can work with you in the meantime using our own body composition analysis.

    Improvements in strength, balance, and confidence can be felt within weeks. Measurable changes in bone density typically take 6–12 months of consistent exercise, and are confirmed by a follow-up DEXA scan. We track your muscle mass and body composition throughout so you can see progress at every stage.

    This is one of the most common concerns we hear β€” and it’s completely understandable. Our physiotherapists are specifically trained in safe exercise prescription for osteoporosis. We avoid high-risk movements such as forward spinal flexion, and focus instead on exercises that are both safe and highly effective for building bone and improving balance.
