Did you know our physotherapists and exercise physiologists are trained in helping develop the strength of your bones ? Yes, we done just deal with muscles.
               If you have osteopenia, osteoporosis, or any bone deficiencies or simply just want to get your bones stronger for your sport , we can help!

Bones are best trained for size when younger, even before hitting puberty. This is because this is when our bones grow rapidly and giving it the stimulus it needs will help to form a robust and strong skeleton before adulthood. Once we are 19 (as a female) or 21 years old as a male, our bones actually stop growing in length and girth. So if you or your child wishes to be the best possible athlete it is best to consult a physiotherapist to begin your exercise program for adequate bone development when you are young.

Bones aren’t quite like muscles and do require a different approach to muscles for growth. You can continue to build strength in your bones even after hitting skeletal maturity, and even if you do have a bone deficiency you can reverse it or prevent it from getting worse by getting the right dosed exercise program prescribed by your physiotherapist.

Whilst your bones cant get thicker when you are an adult; you can get them stronger, more dense and with better mineral structure.
