Osteoporosis Physiotherapy in Drogheda
Keep your joints as active as your social life.
Osteoporosis is a condition where bone becomes thinner, weaker, and more fragile — increasing the risk of fractures, especially in the spine, hip, wrist, and ribs.
It is most common in post-menopausal women, but it can affect men, younger adults, and anyone with risk factors such as long-term steroid use or certain medical treatments.
Typical symptoms may include back pain, hip discomfort, loss of height, or a rounded upper back (kyphosis) — though many people have no symptoms until a fracture occurs.

-
Strengthen your bones safely
-

about us
Diagnosis & Early Action
Osteoporosis and osteopenia are diagnosed through a DEXA scan, which measures bone density in the spine, hip, and sometimes forearm.
If you’ve recently been diagnosed, early physiotherapy is one of the most effective steps you can take to:
-
Learn exactly which exercises improve bone density — and which to avoid
-
Improve posture and flexibility
-
Reduce the risk of falls and fractures
-
Build confidence in movement
-
Protect your spine and joints during daily activities
about us
Your physiotherapist will design a personalised, safe, and progressive programme based on your medical history, strength levels, fracture risk, and goals.
Physiotherapy focuses on:
✔ Weight-bearing & resistance training
Stimulates new bone formation and slows bone loss.
✔ Balance & coordination training
Reduces fall risk — essential for fracture prevention.
✔ Postural strengthening
Protects the spine, reduces curvature, and improves confidence in movement.
✔ Pain relief & mobility guidance
Especially important if you’ve already had a fracture, injury, or spinal compression.
Bone is living tissue. With the right exercises, it can become stronger at any age — including after menopause or later in life.
