Simple exercises for managing osteoporosis at home or with family to improve mobility and reduce pain.
When managing osteoporosis, exercise can greatly help in reducing pain and improving mobility. Simple activities like walking a few steps each day can make a big difference. As you get stronger, you can try water exercises in the bathtub or home resistance training. Balancing exercises, such as standing on one foot, can help improve your stability. Using a towel to do toe exercises or moving your fingers through a bowl of uncooked rice can help keep your joints flexible. Chair exercises with ankle weights and leg lifts are great for strengthening your legs. Involving your family can make these exercises more fun, such as hiking with your family or playing balancing games with your kids. Always remember to listen to your body and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine.
