Exercise for osteoporosis - Only the best will do

-- Belinda Beck --

For many years, exercise was considered to be insufficient therapy for osteoporosis. A closer look revealed that the type of exercise typically applied did not reflect the principles of osteogenic loading due to a fear of causing fractures in a fragile population. In recent years, studies completed in the Beck lab at Griffith University have shown that exercise can indeed be powerful therapy for osteoporosis if applied correctly and with appropriate supervision.

Belinda Beck is a Professor at Griffith University (Gold Coast, QLD, Australia) and the Menzies Health Institute Queensland and founding Director of The Bone Clinic, a translational research facility and clinical practice providing evidence-based exercise for patients with osteoporosis. She graduated from The University of Queensland (BHMS[Ed]) and the University of Oregon (MSc and PhD) and completed a postdoctoral research fellowship in the Stanford University School of Medicine (CA, USA).  Her work, primarily related to the effects of mechanical loading on bone, has involved both animal and human models, from basic to clinical research. Her particular focuses have been exercise interventions across the lifespan for the prevention of osteoporotic fracture, and the management of bone stress injuries in athletes and military recruits
