Top 5 Exercises For Osteo...

Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become weak and brittle, making them more prone to fractures. Exercise can help manage osteoporosis by strengthening bones and reducing the risk of falls, which can result in fractures. Additionally, regular exercise can improve balance and coordination, which can also help prevent falls.

Place your weaker arm onto the table with your forearm outstretched, holding a weight in your hand.

Slowly lower your forearm back down to the table.

Your back and buttocks should remain in contact with the wall throughout.
