Taking Back Power from Osteoporosis - Violet’s Success Story

As we age, our bone health becomes of increasing importance - maintaining our bone density and strength is crucial to ageing with confidence.

​Approximately 66% of Australians over 50 years old have either osteopenia or osteoporosis, and considering that 29% of fall burden can be attributed to low bone mineral density this statistic poses a substantial risk to our physical function, healthy ageing, and overall quality of life.

Luckily, osteoporosis is largely a preventable disease, and can even be reversed with the right intervention.

Exercise is a powerful tool in maintaining and improving bone health - it stimulates bone formation, slows down bone loss, and enhances overall skeletal strength.

Over the years, we have been able to see many clients through their journey to improved bone density - just like Violet!

Violet has been consistently coming in to Absolute once a week to maintain her fitness, bone health and strength since 2022.

When Violet had received DEXA scan results showing that she was just below Osteoporosis levels, she knew that she would have to put in the effort to ensure her long term bone health.

Despite never having trained before coming to Absolute, Violet consistently put her all into her training, and has always expressed a willingness to try new movements and challenges with the support of her coach.

Over a 24 month period, Violet settled into osteopenia range after an incredible 10% bone density improvement in her Lumbar Spine and a 6% increase in her hip - and all at 68 years of age!​

We are so impressed by what Violet has been able to achieve through her hard work, and we can't wait to see her continued success!

“I’m incredibly grateful to have joined Absolute Performance. The friendly and enthusiastic team has played a key role in my recovery from major surgery four years ago. Since then, I’ve gained both strength and self-confidence. When I started, my bone density was very low, but thanks to my dedication and the unwavering support of my coaches, my bone health has improved significantly. I am more committed than ever to continue with my workouts at Absolute Health & Performance.”
