Being able to move well is important for everyone, but sometimes this is not possible.
Osteoporosis
Do you have osteoporosis/ bone decalcification? Do you have a collapsed (fractured) vertebra? Or have you recently fallen and broken something? If so, moving around can be quite a challenge, even though it is precisely now that it is important to pay extra attention to exercise. If exercise causes pain, or if you are afraid of moving or falling, you will soon start moving less to avoid problems. However, exercise, can actually help strengthen your bones and maintain your strength, balance, and fitness . or or even improve.
Why physical therapy for osteoporosis?
- strengthening bones and muscles
- better balance
- move safely and with good posture
- repairing a bone fracture
- how to make sufficient exercise a regular part of your life
With the right help, you can learn how to move safely, how to keep your body as strong and healthy as possible, and how to experience as few limitations as possible. This is very important for your independence.
Cost
Physical therapy for osteoporosis is covered by your supplemental insurance.
When treating a collapse fracture, treatments from the 21st session onwards are covered by basic insurance. A referral from a general practitioner or specialist is required for this.
Do you have no or insufficient supplementary insurance? Then we apply the followingrates.
GP/specialist referral
No referral is required for the treatment of 'normal' osteoporosis.
However, a referral from a GP/specialist is required for treatment following a compression fracture.
