In recognition of World Osteoporosis Day and this year's theme, "Build, Protect, Strengthen Your Bones for Life", Studio Director Erin reflects on how her attitudes towards bone health and exercise have evolved over the years.
"I've had a passion for exercise and bones since I finished my degree, but how I prescribe exercise has evolved a lot over the years (...decades actually). I've navigated my own fears and concerns as a practitioner about "loading weak bones" - and I'm glad I overcame those preconceptions because the results and significant changes I've helped clients facilitate have been nothing short of profound.
I've also seen how the fear around exercise and loading people with osteoporosis from GPs & specialists can be disempowering and really change a person's entire perspective on what that diagnosis means for them and what they can and cannot do.
I've had many conversations and interactions over the years and I LOVE being the part of the shift for many women (and men) where they move from feeling fragile and old, to feeling empowered and strong."
