BoneFit
BoneFit is an evidence-based program designed by Osteoporosis Canada in 2010 to aid in the management of clients with increased bone fracture risk due to osteopenia or osteoporosis. The program provides guidelines to improve strength, balance, aerobic exercise, spine sparing techniques, and back extensor training in order to reduce fracture risk during daily activities.
Virginian Rehabilitation and Wellness has several BoneFit certified therapists that can apply these evidence-based techniques to improve your bone health.

“I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis at age 50 and I wanted to do as much as I could to increase my bone density naturally. Thankfully I found the BoneFit program at Virginian Rehabilitation and Wellness. This program helped me with strength training, posture and balance. I found out that I could do a lot more physically than I thought I could, which has given me confidence and hope. I feel so much better physically and emotionally after this program. I have seen many physical therapists and Cathleen is fantastic - she is so helpful and encouraging. I highly recommend this progam to anyone with osteoporosis. ”
