Osteoporosis is one of the most common diseases, which along with cardiovascular pathology, diabetes mellitus and oncological diseases has a leading place in the structure of morbidity and mortality of the population. The combination of pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods is fundamental for the treatment and prevention of osteopenia and osteoporosis. This article presents rehabilitation methods that are of great importance for improving the functioning of the musculoskeletal system, the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis. Physical rehabilitation is aimed at stopping the destruction of bone tissue, strengthening it, eliminating pain, reducing stress from the affected areas and restoring the normal function of joints and bones. The proposed types of physical activity not only increase bone strength and strengthen muscle mass, but also reduce the risk of falling — a leading cause of osteoporotic fractures. Exercise programs designed for patients with osteoporosis should include strength and exercise exercises, as well as exercises for flexibility, posture correction, coordination of movements and balance. Training should be regular, varied and of a certain duration. The article considers the advantages and disadvantages of each type of activity.
