How it works
Mechanical loading through weight-bearing and resistance exercise stimulates osteoblast activity and bone formation via piezoelectric and mechanosensory pathways. Muscle strengthening reduces fall risk — the proximate cause of most fractures.
Exercise type matters: weight-bearing (walking, dancing, tennis) and resistance training are effective; swimming and cycling are not weight-bearing. Should be supervised by physiotherapist, especially for those with established osteoporosis. Avoid high-impact exercise without medical assessment.
Getting started
This is a lifestyle-based approach. Start gradually and consult a health professional if you have any concerns about suitability for your situation.
