The Silent Crisis Hitting Women Wordwide

Today, I’m excited to let you now about work our Be Well Physio Team has been doing that is crucial to health and longevity. It is about Low Bone Mineral Density (LBMD) which means having weak bones.

LMBD is a main indicator of osteoporosis, a disease that makes your bones weak, thin, and much more likely to break. What’s scary about it is that

most people don’t know they have osteoporosis until a bone breaks, which is why it’s called a “silent” disease.

The Alarming Rise of Bone Disease in Women

Bone health is emerging as a silent crisis among women worldwide, especially as they age. A 2025 study showed that deaths linked to LBMD rose by 27% among premenopausal women and by a staggering 139% among postmenopausal women.  In other words, weak bones result in early death.

Introducing the Be Well Bone Strong Program

We are thrilled to announce that we will soon be launching our Bone Strong Program, which is similar to other science-backed programs such as Onero.

Over the course of 6 or 12 weeks, you’ll be guided by our expert Physiotherapy team and learn to:

• Lift safely and progressively using resistance exercises that target hips, spine, shoulders, knees, and ankles – the areas most vulnerable to osteoporotic fractures.

• Incorporate gentle, controlled impact to stimulate new bone growth (yes, bones respond to stress just like muscles do).

• Build stability and posture so you can move with ease and confidence.

• Adopt daily habits that support long-term bone health – from smart lifting to nutrition for stronger bones.

Think of it as a full-body upgrade, from the inside out.

Who It’s For

The Bone Strong Program is ideal if you:

• Have experienced hormonal changes, reduced activity, or long-term medication use that affects bone health

• Are predisposed to bone loss or want to take a proactive approach

• Are 50+ and want to stay strong and independent

• Are recovering from fractures and ready to return to movement safely.

Needless to say,  its a crucial intervention for people who have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

What’s Included

• 1–2 physiotherapist-led sessions per week in small (4 person) groups

• A comprehensive 1:1 physiotherapy assessment before starting

• Personalised outcome measures to track your progress

• Follow-up review to celebrate results and plan your next steps.

Stronger bones. Stronger you.

We will shortly be sending you an email with full details about the Bone Strong Program and how you can enroll. Places will be limited so register early.

Here’s to stronger bones, and a better, longer, life!

See you again at Be Well soon.
