Osteoporosis exists within a web of interconnected conditions and physiological processes. Conditions linked to bone loss includes diabetes, thyroid disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, kidney and liver conditions, autoimmune disorders, eating disorders, and more. Functionally, loss of muscle mass (sarcopenia), poor balance, reduced coordination, inactivity, chronic inflammation, and hormonal changes all intertwine with fracture/fall risk.

Let's take a broader view together by paying attention to building muscle and balance through safe, effective movement.
