Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and deterioration of bone tissue, leading to increased fracture risk. [1] [2] It often remains asymptomatic until a fracture occurs. [3] The treatment can be use of pharmacological agents depending upon the cause of osteoporosis. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in managing osteoporosis by enhancing bone strength, improving balance, and reducing fall risk. [4] Specific weight-bearing exercises, resistance training, and postural correction techniques help stimulate bone remodelling and slowing down bone loss. [5] Along with physical therapy interventions focus on improving functional mobility, flexibility, and proprioception is vital to enhancing overall quality of life. Additionally, patient education on body mechanics and lifestyle modifications further supports long-term bone health. This review highlights the importance of physical therapy in osteoporosis management and underscores the need for individualized therapeutic approaches to optimize bone health.
