Join Osteoporosis Canada with Dr. Caitlin McArthur, Associate Professor in the School of Physiotherapy at Dalhousie University, who will be hosting four webinars focusing on different summer activities and sports. Each 30-minute webinar will provide an review of what your exercise plan should include and will answer questions about the summer activities and sports featured in each webinar for those who have osteoporosis and may need to make modifications or choose a different way to stay active entirely depending on their condition.

Racquet sports including tennis, pickleball, squash and badminton are fun ways to stay active but if you have osteoporosis, may need to be modified to be enjoyed safely.
