Caring for your back

Most people with osteoporosis are unlikely to experience a spinal fracture during exercise.

Keeping your back straight and learning techniques for moving and lifting safely will help to minimise your risk of spinal fractures. It can also help to relieve pain. This is the case, whether you have a spinal fracture or not.
