Our Osteoporosis classes are taught by Louise Broderick, Chartered Physiotherapist at our Patrick’s Quay clinic, Cork City.
Our classes are designed for men and women of all ages who have osteoporosis and for those at risk of developing the disease. We have both beginner and improvers classes, suitable for those who exercise regularly to those dependent on walking aids.
Aim of the class
As osteoporosis is a silent disease and there may not be any warning signs until a bonefracture occurs, our classes include education in the development and process of osteoporosis, to give a practical guide to pain management and lifestyle advice. Classes also involve postural and strengthening exercises and activities to improve balance. Exercises will incorporate weight bearing, balance and strength training.
