Abstract

Osteoporosis is a systemic bone disorder, which primarily effects postmenopausal women. The prevention of osteoporosis involves two components: building up high peak bone mass and reducing the rate of bone loss during menopause and aging. Rehabilitation must include pain relief, maintenance of proper posture, rebuilding normal muscle force, and maintaining normal motion range, improvement in bone mineral density, and increasing activity in daily living, in order to stimulate the skeletal system. The aim of the present study is to present, on the basis of literature and our own experience, the importance of physiotherapy in osteoporosis prophylaxis and treatment.

Key words:
