Author: Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation July 26, 2023 Duration: 0:00
Joining us on this episode of BoneTalk is Brittany Pabon, a Physical Therapist at Lee Health, Outpatient Rehabilitation Services at Cape Coral Hospital in Florida. Brittany is a BoneFit Trainer certified through BHOF. BoneFit is an evidence-based exercise training workshop designed for healthcare professionals and exercise specialists to provide training on the most appropriate, safe and effective methods for working with people who have osteoporosis. Brittany tells us about how working with a physical therapist can help you maintain your independence with osteoporosis, when it might be time to see a physical therapist, and what an evaluation may look like.

Tuning into Bone Talk feels like pulling up a chair to a thoughtful, necessary conversation that often goes unheard. Produced by the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation, this podcast moves beyond simple medical advice, weaving together the real human stories and expert insights that define the landscape of bone health. Each episode brings a different voice to the forefront-you might hear a researcher explaining a breakthrough in treatment, a caregiver sharing their daily challenges, or a policy advocate discussing systemic change. It’s this mosaic of perspectives from patients, doctors, innovators, and advocates that gives the discussion its depth and urgency. While osteoporosis is a central focus, the dialogue naturally expands to encompass holistic well-being, nutrition, fitness, and the science of healthy aging. The goal isn’t just to inform but to equip you with practical strategies and a sense of community, emphasizing how protecting bone strength is fundamentally about preserving your independence and capacity for an active life. This isn't a clinical lecture; it's a resource built on genuine conversation, making complex topics accessible and relevant for anyone invested in their long-term health.
