Osteoporosis Management in Croydon
Pro Health Clinic — Ashfield's multidisciplinary health clinic, accessible from Croydon via Short drive or bus via Parramatta Road.
Osteoporosis for Croydon Residents
Croydon borders Ashfield directly along Croydon Road, making Pro Health Clinic one of the most accessible health services for Croydon residents — many of whom consider it their local clinic. The suburb's quiet, residential character and mix of established family homes creates a community that values practical, unhurried clinical care. For chiropractic, physiotherapy, or massage, the journey from Croydon to our clinic is genuinely short.
Our Approach to Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis — characterised by low bone density and increased fracture risk — affects over one million Australians, with post-menopausal women at highest risk. While osteoporosis is managed medically with medication and calcium and vitamin D supplementation, the evidence for specific types of exercise in maintaining and improving bone density, reducing fall risk, and preventing fractures is strong and well-established.
At Pro Health Clinic, osteoporosis management centres on safe, evidence-based exercise prescription — including weight-bearing, resistance, and balance training adapted to each patient's bone density level and physical capacity. We work closely with GPs and endocrinologists to ensure a coordinated, medically appropriate approach to each patient's bone health.
What We Treat
- Weight-bearing exercise for bone density preservation
- Progressive resistance training for osteoporosis
- Fall prevention and balance training
- Postural correction to reduce vertebral fracture risk
- Safe exercise program design for fragile bone
- Coordination with GP and endocrinologist care teams
What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Osteoporosis management at Pro Health Clinic begins with a review of your bone density reports, fracture history, and current medications, followed by a movement and balance assessment. Your practitioner will design a program that is both effective for bone health and safe given your current bone density level.

Frequently Asked Questions
How far is Pro Health Clinic from Croydon?
Pro Health Clinic is approximately 1.5km from Croydon — a 4-minute drive, or a 15-minute walk along Croydon Road for residents close to the Ashfield border.
Do you treat Croydon patients?
Yes — Croydon is immediately adjacent to our Ashfield clinic. We regularly treat Croydon patients across all our services including chiropractic, physiotherapy, and remedial massage.
Is it safe to exercise with osteoporosis near Croydon?
Yes — exercise is essential for osteoporosis management, but the type and intensity of exercise matters. Some exercises carry elevated fracture risk and should be avoided or modified. A qualified practitioner will design a program that is effective for bone density while being safe for your specific level of fragility.
Can exercise increase bone density near Croydon?
Specific forms of exercise — particularly impact loading and progressive resistance training — can modestly increase bone density and significantly reduce fracture risk by improving strength and balance. The bone response is site-specific: exercises load the bones in the areas trained.
What exercises should I avoid with osteoporosis near Croydon?
High-impact activities that risk falling and exercises that place significant flexion load on the spine (such as crunches or forward bending with load) carry elevated fracture risk in osteoporosis. Your practitioner will advise on safe modifications and alternatives tailored to your bone density level.
