Osteoporosis & Osteopenia Physical Therapy in Louisville, KY
Regain Your Strength, Balance, and Confidence
Are you worried about bone loss, falling, or missing out on the activities you love? You’re not alone. Many adults over 45 in Louisville face osteoporosis or osteopenia—and most don’t realize how much physical therapy can help. At ProActive Physical Therapy and Wellness, we create personalized, research-backed plans to help you rebuild bone strength, improve balance, and get back to living confidently—no matter your age or health history.
If balance or dizziness is part of your concern, see our Balance & Dizziness Physical Therapy page for targeted strategies that pair perfectly with bone-strengthening care.
What Are Osteoporosis & Osteopenia?
Osteoporosis means bones are fragile and fracture risk is higher. Osteopenia is earlier bone loss—a yellow light that density is below optimal. Bone loss is often silent, but the results can be life-changing. The right action, at the right time, makes all the difference.
Physical Therapy: A Smart, Research-Informed Way to Fight Bone Loss
Not All Exercise Is Created Equal
At ProActive Physical Therapy and Wellness, our personalized programs are designed to:
- Rebuild bone density with progressive strength training tailored for osteoporosis and osteopenia
- Improve your balance and reduce fall risk (the #1 cause of fractures) — pair with our Balance & Dizziness PT
- Teach bone-safe movement strategies for daily life at home and on the go

This isn’t about pushing through pain or guessing what’s “safe”—it’s about expert care, smart progress, and getting you back to what matters most.
Are You a Cancer Survivor?
Chemotherapy, radiation, hormone therapy, and long-term steroids can accelerate bone loss—even years later. We help Louisville cancer survivors rebuild bone strength, balance, and resilience with safe, individualized therapy. Talk to us about post-cancer bone health & recovery.
Common Situations We Treat
Osteoporosis (Low Bone Strength)
Fragile bones and higher fracture risk. We focus on progressive, bone-safe strength training, balance work, posture, and daily-life strategies.
Osteopenia (Early Bone Loss)
A “yellow-light” warning. We build a proactive plan so you maintain strength and independence.
Post-Cancer or Medication-Related Bone Loss
Changes after chemo, radiation, hormone therapy, or steroids. We individualize intensity and monitor recovery closely.
Menopause-Related Changes
Bone density often declines during/after menopause. We emphasize hip/core strength, posture, and safe load progression.
After a Fragility Fracture
Gentle return-to-activity, bracing guidance (if needed), gait/balance training, and confidence-building daily strategies.
