During the summer months, there are many ways to exercise, participate in organized sports and simply enjoy activities in the great outdoors.
Join Osteoporosis Canada during the month of May with Dr. Caitlin McArthur, Associate Professor in the School of Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University, who will be hosting four webinars focusing on different summer activities and sports.
Each 30-minute webinar will provide an review of what your exercise plan should include and will answer questions about the summer activities and sports featured in each webinar for those who have osteoporosis and may need to make modifications or choose a different way to stay active entirely depending on their condition.
Racquet sports including tennis, pickleball, squash and badminton are fun ways to stay active but if you have osteoporosis, may need to be modified to be enjoyed safely.

As soon as the early signs of spring appear, golfers start counting down the days until their first tee-off of the season! Golfing is a great outdoor sport, a good form of exercise, can be done on your own or with a group and it’s fun! But for those who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis – you may need to make modifications or choose a different way to play the sport depending on your condition.

Warmer temperatures and longer days for many means joining a community league, planning cycling trips and hiking local trails. Each sport and activity provides benefits for social benefits including connecting with others and nature in addition to the physical benefits. If you have osteoporosis, learn how you can continue to enjoy these activities safely.
