Are you or a loved one at increased risk for falls or fractures? How can you maintain your independence and functionality as you age? Join us for our next webinar as we explore these topics.

Intuitively, we know that both strength and stability are important when it comes to health and longevity. In older adults, conditions such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia (loss of muscle mass), and decreased strength are significant risk factors for falls and fractures, cardiovascular disease, and overall mortality.

Many studies have shown that regular strength training at appropriate levels of intensity, carried out in a supervised manner, can significantly improve markers of health, including bone mineral density. We will discuss the importance of obtaining an accurate, reliable, and actionable baseline of strength and stability to serve as an objective baseline, and the best strategies to prevent bone and muscle loss with age.
