Did you know that 1 in 2 women and 1 in 4 men over the age of 50 will have an osteoporosis-related fracture in their remaining lifetime, and that osteoporosis is responsible for 1.5 million fractures a year in the United States? It doesn’t have to be this way! Hundreds of clinical studies have indisputably proven that doing the right exercises, improving your balance, and making some lifestyle changes, are critical factors in building stronger bones. In addition, active lifestyles are associated with reducing the risk of hip fracture by half.
This class will include standing and floor exercises to improve postural alignment, balance, and strength. Joanne’s Strong Bones program is derived from evidence-based research in the field of osteoporosis. Bring your own mat, but all other equipment will be provided.
Joanne Fagerstrom, PT, CFP, has been a physical therapist since 1978. In 2009, after being diagnosed with osteoporosis, she began the research and development of her comprehensive bone health program and was able to reverse this diagnosis. Joanne offers private 1-on-1 consultations, weekly Strong Bones classes, monthly blogs, and annual Taking Charge of Your Bone Health workshops.
