World Osteoporosis Day | Tuesday 20th October 2026
At Pilates And Movement Studio, we believe movement is one of the ways we can support our bodies, build strength and maintain confidence throughout life
Osteoporosis affects bone strength, increasing the risk of fractures.
The good news is that the right exercise, alongside good nutrition and appropriate healthcare, can play an important role in supporting bone health!
How can Pilates help?
✨ Build strength and improve muscular control
✨ Support posture and body awareness
✨ Improve balance and movement confidence
✨ Help you feel stronger in everyday life
How can Aqua Fit help?
Aqua Fit is a fantastic way to get moving in a supportive, low-impact environment!
💧 The water supports your body, reducing the impact on your joints
💧 Water resistance helps you work your muscles and build strength
💧 Moving in water can help improve cardiovascular fitness, mobility and endurance
💧 Aqua Fit offers an enjoyable way to stay active and exercise with others
Although Aqua Fit is gentle on the joints, water buoyancy means it provides less bone-loading stimulus than many weight-bearing activities.
For bone health, a combination of suitable resistance exercise, weight-bearing activity and balance training may be beneficial, depending on your individual needs.
Movement matters at every age 💜
Whether you prefer the controlled movements of Pilates or the refreshing feel of Aqua Fit, finding activities you enjoy can help you build a more active, confident lifestyle.
If you have osteoporosis or are at risk, speak to a healthcare professional or suitably qualified instructor about adapting exercise safely to your needs.
Move better. Feel better. Live better 💛
