Kathleen Picard, PT, of OSI Physical Therapy in Stillwater, spoke to the St Paul Myeloma Support Group Wednesday, July 8, on the topic "Bone Health and Myeloma." She discussed osteoporosis and its risk factors, and described remedies including medications, diet, exercise, strength training, posture training, and balance training. She showed members how to strengthen their bones, and how to evaluate their own risk of falling and ways to reduce that risk.
The next meeting of the St Paul group will be 1:00 to 3:00 pm Wednesday, August 12, 2009, at the Family Means Center. Please see the side panel for specific directions.
