Bone Health & Osteoporosis Treatment in Milton
Promoting movement performance
Build stronger bones. Prevent fractures. Live with confidence.
What We Do
At Milton Physiotherapy, our Bone Health service helps people with osteoporosis, osteopenia, or concerns about bone density build strength, prevent fractures, and maintain an active lifestyle safely.
Bone health isn’t just about ageing—it’s about taking proactive steps to strengthen your skeleton and reduce your risk of fractures throughout life. Our specialised physiotherapists understand the unique challenges of managing bone density issues and provide tailored exercise programs that are both safe and effective.
Whether you’ve recently been diagnosed with osteoporosis, are recovering from a fracture, or simply want to protect your bones as you age, we’re here to guide you through evidence-based treatment that builds confidence alongside
stronger bones.
What We Treat
Our bone health service is ideal if you're experiencing:
- Osteoporosis (diagnosed low bone density requiring careful exercise planning)
- Osteopenia (early bone density loss that can be improved with targeted intervention)
- Post-fracture rehabilitation (recovery following hip, spine, wrist, or other fractures)
- Fracture prevention concerns (family history or risk factors for bone loss)
- Fear of falling (anxiety about movement that limits daily activities)
What We Treat
Our bone health service is ideal if you're experiencing:
- Medication-related bone loss (side effects from steroids or other treatments)
- Age-related bone density decline (natural changes requiring proactive management)
- Balance issues that increase fracture risk
- Muscle weakness affecting bone loading and fall prevention
- Chronic pain from compression fractures or bone-related conditions
Whether you’re 50 or 80, it’s never too late to start building better bone health.
Our Approach
Bone health requires a careful balance of challenge and safety. We begin with a comprehensive assessment to understand your unique needs:
- Bone density review (interpreting your DEXA scan results if available)
- Fracture risk assessment including medical history and lifestyle factors
- Strength and balance testing to identify areas
for improvement - Posture analysis to address spine alignment and reduce fracture risk
- Movement assessment to ensure safe technique in
daily activities - Fall risk evaluation to identify and address
potential hazards
Our Approach
Your personalised treatment plan may include:
- Progressive resistance training designed specifically for bone loading
- Weight-bearing exercises that stimulate bone
growth safely - Balance and coordination training to prevent falls
- Postural strengthening to protect your spine and reduce compression risk
- Safe movement education for lifting, bending, and
daily activities - Home exercise programs with clear guidelines and progression plans
