In a recent blog, we introduced Community Care Rheumatology‘s Bone Health Program—a comprehensive care approach for adults over 50, postmenopausal women, and individuals managing osteoporosis or recovering from fragility fractures. If you missed it, you can catch up here.
The program provides a strong foundation, offering bone density screenings, personalized treatment plans, infusion therapy through InfusionCare, and expert guidance on exercise. But what about patients who need help getting started with that exercise part, or need hands-on support to stay on track?
That’s where Community Care Physical Therapy steps in.
Movement Matters: A Physical Therapy Approach to Bone Health
While our rheumatologists focus on osteoporosis treatment, our physical therapists concentrate on the other side of the equation: helping patients move safely and effectively to support bone density. Their approach is personalized, flexible, and rooted in the latest evidence-based techniques for improving bone strength through movement.
For some patients, it starts with reviewing their current routine and fine-tuning it with weight-bearing and resistance exercises that target bone health. For others, especially those new to exercise or living with significant deconditioning, it may begin with the basics—creating a customized home program that matches their ability and builds from there.
A Tailored Plan—and a Partner in Progress
No one is left to figure it out alone. After the initial session, patients return for follow-up sessions, where their progress is reviewed and the program is adjusted as needed. For those who aren’t yet confident enough to exercise independently, therapists may bring them in weekly to work one-on-one until they’re ready to transition to a gym, community-based program, or solo workouts at home.
The ultimate goal? Help patients “graduate” from physical therapy and return to an active, independent lifestyle—safely and with confidence.
Connecting the Dots in Care
At Community Care, we believe the best outcomes happen when we treat the whole person, not just the condition. That’s why we’ve developed programs that seamlessly integrate medical treatment with movement-based care—so patients not only gain stronger bones but also achieve a healthier life in motion.
With convenient locations in Latham and Delmar, extended hours, and a private, non-hospital setting, Community Care Physical Therapy makes it easy and comfortable for you to get the care you need. Our experienced team of physical therapists and assistants brings advanced training, hands-on expertise, and a patient-first approach to every visit. Whether you’re managing osteoporosis, recovering from an injury, or simply working toward a stronger, healthier version of yourself, we’re here to guide your progress every step of the way.
