In light of World Osteoporosis Day, Burjeel Medical Centre – Oman

It's World Osteoporosis Day on October 20, and Siriyaporn Panyaborwornrat, a specialist physiotherapist at Burjeel Hospital in Muscat, gives her top exercise tips for sufferers. Osteoporosis weakens bones, and increases the risk of unexpected fractures. Serious consequences can occur in some incidences but there are ways you can reduce the dangers of displacement.

The aim is usually to satisfy a physical, psychological or social need or often a mixture of all three.
