Greetings
Welcome to the February newsletter from Peak Physical Therapy.
February is usually associated with hearts and Valnetines but it can also be a time of changeable, icy weather. That can lead to slips and falls. If you have, or at risk for, osteoporosis, this can be a frightening prospect. Read more for information on how we can help! For those of you who are more adventurous on the ice, we have some tips for figure skaters. Plus another selection of yummy and healthy recipes. Hope the only fall you have this month is in love!

Osteoporosis is a common condition that can affect people as early as 50 years old. It’s a “silent disease”, meaning you can’t feel you have it but it leaves you very vulnerable to fall-related fractures. If you have osteoporosis, working with a physiotherapist to improve bone mass, agility, muscular strength, aerobic capacity and balance can help to improve your bone health and minimize your risk of suffering a fall.

Figure skating is a highly technical sport that requires tremendous talent and skill. Figure skaters risk injury every time they step on the ice so they need to be conditioned on, and off, the ice.
