The LIFTMOR trial: 5 clinical tips
from MMOA Podcast - Physical Therapy | Fitness | Geriatrics
Most clinicians still shy away from heavy lifting with osteoporotic patients because of fear. But this groundbreaking study shows high-intensity resistance training isn't just safe — it's essential. Participants lifted at 85% of their 1RM — which means it's heavy, challenging, and highly effective at reversing bone density loss. And guess what? No fractures or adverse reactions.Here's the kicker: start slow, avoid equipment costs, and accept that not everyone will hit that perfect dose immediately. It's about progress, not perfection. If you're working with post-menopausal women or men at risk, this study gives you a clear blueprint to follow — and the clinical pearls to do it confidently.Take this insight to your next patient convo — and let's shift from fear to empowerment. #Osteoporosis #StrengthTraining #BoneHealth #ClinicalPearls #PhysioTips
