Balance and Fall Prevention Training

for Osteoporosis

Balance training and falls prevention programmes address the primary mechanism of osteoporotic fracture — falls — making them among the most important interventions for fracture prevention.

How it works

Improves proprioception, reaction time, and neuromuscular coordination required to prevent falls. Tai chi and targeted balance exercises reduce falls risk by 20–35% in older adults.

What to watch for

Falls prevention is arguably more important than bone density improvement for fracture prevention in the short term. Otago Exercise Programme and Tai Chi have the strongest evidence. Available through physiotherapists and community programmes.
