At Atlas Sports and Exercise Medicine, we’re passionate about helping you move well, stay active, and live stronger—at every stage of life.

Osteoporosis is a common condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures, often without any obvious symptoms. The good news? With early assessment and the right approach, you can significantly reduce your risk.

Who should be thinking about bone health?
Osteoporosis isn’t just an issue for older adults. It can affect anyone—especially if you:
• Are over 50
• Have had fractures in the past
• Are post-menopausal
• Smoke
• Drink excessive amounts of alcohol
• Lead a sedentary lifestyle
• Are underweight or have a history of eating disorders
• Have certain medical conditions or take medications that affect bone density What can you do about it?

‍
Exercise is one of the most powerful tools we have to protect and strengthen bones. At Atlas, we take a proactive, personalised approach to bone health:
✅ Comprehensive bone health reviews, including calcium and vitamin D blood testing + FRAX scoring
✅ Tailored exercise plans, including resistance and weight-bearing training
✅ Nutritional guidance to support bone density
✅ DEXA scan referrals when clinically indicated
✅ Expert advice from clinicians who understand the demands of active lifestyles Why it matters?

‍
Strong bones aren’t just about avoiding fractures—they’re the foundation for staying independent, mobile, and injury-free as you age. Whether you’re an athlete, an active adult, or just getting started with exercise, we’ll work with you to support lifelong strength and movement.
