An exercise program for individuals with osteoporosis.
Osteofit is BC Women’s certified exercise, education and falls prevention program for individuals with osteoporosis, low bone density or who are at risk of fractures and falls. Osteofit aims to provide safe and gentle exercises for individuals with minimal previous exercise experience. The goals of Osteofit are to:
- Reduce your risk of falls and fractures
- Improve your ability to do day-to-day activities
- Increase your confidence and independence
- Improve your quality of life
Many health care providers refer their patients to Osteofit and Get Up & Go! classes however anyone can attend and physician referrals are not mandatory.
Osteofit classes offer a combination of exercise and education in a supportive group environment. Each one-hour class has a low participant-to-instructor ratio and is led by a certified Osteofit instructor.
