During the snowy months there are many ways to stay active and enjoy the outdoors. If you have osteoporosis – you may need to make modifications to some winter activities or choose a different way to stay active entirely depending on your condition. Our keynote speakers address outdoor activities like skiing, skating, walking and even shovelling snow for people with osteoporosis.

Before undertaking any physical activity, you should consult with your healthcare provider.
