What is Opt Health’s bone strength program?
Bone Strength
Many women struggle with fragile bones and frequent injuries. At Opt Health, we recognize the importance of bone health in maintaining an active and independent lifestyle. That's why we offer personalized programs to strengthen your bones, all under the expert care of our licensed physicians.
Get StartedWhy does bone health matter?
Stronger bones mean a more active you. Exercise—especially resistance training—improves bone mineral density. In turn, strong bones allow you to engage in more physical activity, enjoy hobbies, and perform daily tasks without pain or limitations. Keep moving to increase your overall health and wellness.
- Support and injury protection: Healthy bones enable a wide range of movements and physical activities. They are less likely to break or fracture from falls, accidents, or minor trauma.
- Blood cell production: The bone marrow, found within the cavities of certain bones, is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
- Mineral reservoir: Bones act as a reservoir for essential minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus, which are necessary for various bodily functions. They release minerals into the bloodstream when needed.
Increasing your bone strength
We believe in addressing the root cause of brittle bones, not just treating symptoms. Our programs may include:
Nutritious diet and supplementation
We’ll help you optimize your diet and nutrition. Strong bones require sufficient amounts of calcium and vitamin D.
Regular exercise
We’ll create a custom workout routine for you. A good mix of strength, aerobic, and flexibility training can significantly benefit your bone health.
Hormonal balancing
If a hormonal imbalance is the cause of weak bones, we may recommend hormone replacement therapy.
Lifestyle habits
We’ll help you ditch poor lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
