Bone and Balance Training

Did you know...
There are three ways our body can burn energy that are taken into consideration when trying to lose, gain or maintain weight: Basal metabolism, Thermogenisis and Physical Activity, the later being readily changeable.

As we age, muscular strength, balance and proprioception all decrease significantly, which is directly associated with an increase in falls and subsequent fractures. Research has shown that following a fall or fracture in the elderly there is a concurrent decrease in confidence, increased anxiety and depression.

When an appropriate exercise program is prescribed, research has consistently demonstrated that muscular strength and bone density are significantly improved and rate of falls is decreased.

At Bodytrack, our Exercise Physiologists have designed programs that specifically target balance and overall body strength through a combination of weight bearing and non weight bearing exercise.
