Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis causes bones to become weak and brittle — so brittle that a fall or even mild stresses such as bending over or coughing can cause a fracture. Osteoporosis-related fractures most commonly occur in the hip, wrist or spine.
Bone is living tissue that is constantly being broken down and replaced. Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone.
Symptoms
There typically are no symptoms in the early stages of bone loss. But once your bones have been weakened by osteoporosis, you might have signs and symptoms that include:
Back pain, caused by a fractured or collapsed vertebra
Loss of height over time
A stooped posture
A bone that breaks much more easily than expected.

Your bones are in a constant state of renewal — new bone is made and old bone is broken down. When you're young, your body makes new bone faster than it breaks down old bone and your bone mass increases. After the early 20s this process slows, and most people reach their peak bone mass by age 30. As people age, bone mass is lost faster than it's created.
How likely you are to develop osteoporosis depends partly on how much bone mass you attained in your youth. Peak bone mass is partly inherited and varies also by ethnic group. The higher your peak bone mass, the more bone you have "in the bank" and the less likely you are to develop osteoporosis as you age.
Osteoporosis Is Your Worst Enemy. 6 Ways to Defeat It
Osteoporosis is the condition of low bone mineral density caused by altered bone microstructure. When you have osteoporosis, your bones become brittle and weak, so weak that you can break them simply by a fall or even by mild stress such as bending over or coughing. Osteoporosis is an illness that can affect anyone, but it is more prevalent among older adults, particularly women. Most often, the disease develops without any symptoms or pain, and it is not discovered until the weakening of bones causes painful fractures.
Cause of osteoporosis: Mostly idiopathic, Prolonged use of medications, Secondary to, another disease or condition, Low calcium intake or absorption, Excessive alcohol consumption, Sedentary lifestyle, and Hormone dysfunction.
Symptoms: Symptoms of bone loss are usually absent in the early stages. Once osteoporosis has weakened your bones, you might experience these signs and symptoms:Back pain, stooped posture, Breathing difficulties.
Physiotherapy management of osteoporosis:
Strength training: Weight-bearing exercise (such as walking, jogging, running, stair climbing, skipping rope, also, skiing)
Flexibility exercise: Stretching of lower limb / upper limb / lower back / upper back muscles.
Balancing exercise:
Postural exercises:
High-intensity training: Dynamic weight-bearing exercises
Treatment of Pain: Therapeutic modalities (such as Paraffin wax bath therapy, ultrasound therapy, & cryotherapy, etc.)
Kinesio taping.
