Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis Management in Perth
Osteoporosis is a condition of reduced bone density and increased fracture risk — but it is not an inevitable consequence of ageing, and it is directly treatable through exercise. Progressive resistance training and appropriate impact loading are among the most effective interventions available for improving bone density and reducing fracture risk.
At Move Physiotherapy, we design and supervise individualised bone loading programmes based on your DEXA results, fracture risk, current strength levels, and any other health considerations. We assess your strength objectively at the outset and use this to set progressive targets throughout the programme. No referral is required — we can also coordinate directly with your GP or specialist if needed.
Exercise for osteoporosis needs to be appropriately challenging to be effective. Many people are given overly cautious advice that falls well short of the loading required to stimulate bone adaptation. We apply the evidence directly, progressing your programme as your strength and confidence build.
We run osteoporosis programmes across our four Perth clinics: Beeliar, Booragoon, East Fremantle, and Jandakot. No referral is needed to book.
Technology-Based
Injury Assessment
Included gap-free with every initial assessment.
Move Physiotherapy uses VALD force measurement technology — the same systems used by AFL, NRL and Olympic programs — to objectively measure your strength, symmetry and recovery. This means your physiotherapist can track your progress with clinical precision, making data-driven decisions at every stage of your rehabilitation rather than relying on subjective estimates.
Quadriceps and grip strength are the most evidence-supported predictors of fall risk and fracture risk in osteoporosis. VALD dynamometry lets us establish an objective baseline, set progressive loading targets, and track improvements over the course of your programme.
