In addition to medication, supplements, and dietary changes, most treatment programs for osteopenia require physical activity or therapy. Building muscle is directly linked to increased bone density. Weight-bearing exercises are a good choice, as well as walking, swimming, and elliptical and stair machines. Anyone with osteopenia should speak to a doctor to ensure they are targeting the right areas and not exacerbating the issue.
