Bone Fit™ Workshops in Your Community!

Posted Le 28 juin 2018

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians needlessly fracture each year because their osteoporosis goes undiagnosed and untreated. There is a huge care gap for Canadians who break a bone due to osteoporosis: 80% never receive appropriate osteoporosis care, leaving them at substantial risk for further costly, debilitating and often life‐threatening fractures.

If you are a health care professional or exercise practitioner working with people with osteoporosis, Bone Fit™ is a great training workshop that can help you attain the knowledge and practical skills for designing and adapting safe exercise programs to help reduce the risk of fractures for people with osteoporosis.

Bone Fit™ is a comprehensive and practical workshop covering safe exercise prescription & adaptation; fracture risk assessment; safe adaptation of daily activities, gym exercises, yoga & Pilates. All material presented in the workshop is rooted in anatomical principles, up-to-date evidence-based research and best practices in the management of osteoporosis. The goal of the Bone Fit™ Basic & Clinical workshops is to provide safe, effective, evidence-based exercises to create a continuum of care for people with osteoporosis from the clinic to the community or home.

Bone Fit™ Basics is a 1-day workshop aimed at exercise and fitness professional working in the community with uncomplicated osteoporosis clients. Bone Fit™ Clinical is a 2-day workshop aimed at rehabilitation professionals working in a clinical environment with simple or complex osteoporosis clients.
