Osteoporosis 'porous bones' causes bones to break easily (fragility fractures). Leading an active lifestyle can halve your risk of breaking a bone, particularly your hip. This is why Osteoporosis Dorset is holding a free event to coincide with World Osteoporosis Day (20th October 2009), which will provide an important focus for informing and educating the general public about the prevention of fragility fractures. |
| |
| People will be able to: hear talks from local experts on bone health and preventing falls; participate in an exercise session suitable for people of all ages. All they need to wear is loose clothing and flat shoes. |
| |
| IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO ATTEND, YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR A FREE TICKET BY CONTACTING OSTEOPOROSIS DORSET ON 01202 443064. |
