Osteofit, is an exercise program designed specifically for people with Osteoporosis who are at risk for fractures or already have fractures.
This exercise program also benefits those dealing with MS, Stroke, Spina Bifida, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Parkinson's Disease, Osteoarthritis and other degenerative conditions.
Osteofit is intended to give people with osteoporosis, or with risks of osteoporosis, the opportunity to begin an exercise program that is suitable for their needs. It also provides a place for people to meet others in a social activity. The Osteofit class does not replace the care of a physiotherapist.
The classes are kept small so that each participant is able to receive the individual attention that is needed. The class content includes: education, diet guidelines, stretches, light aerobic activity, strengthening (sometimes involving bands and light weights) and a social component.
