Understanding Osteoporosis (4 hrs)
Understanding Osteoporosis
4 Hours CE/CPD | Online Course with Ke Wynn Lee
Osteoporosis is often described simply as a condition of reduced bone density, but for rehabilitation and healthcare professionals the clinical picture extends far beyond bone health alone.
Understanding Osteoporosis takes a modern, practical approach to understanding osteoporosis through the lenses of movement, strength, balance, confidence, fall prevention, and long-term functional independence.
Presented by Ke Wynn Lee, this course helps practitioners better understand how osteoporosis affects the body, why movement and loading matter, and how to support clients in maintaining mobility, resilience, and quality of life as they age.
Course Overview
This 4-hour CE/CPD course provides a practical introduction to osteoporosis and its implications for rehabilitation, exercise, movement, and healthy aging.
Participants will explore how bone changes over time, why fractures occur, how mechanical loading influences bone health, and why strength, balance, posture, and movement confidence play such important roles in long-term outcomes.
Rather than focusing on fear-based approaches, the course encourages professionals to support clients through progressive movement, confidence-building strategies, fall prevention, and functional independence.
Supported by video tutorials, a fully illustrated workbook, companion course, lesson quizzes, final examination, certificate of completion, and lifetime access, this course provides a practical framework for understanding osteoporosis in modern clinical practice.
