Virtual forum, Enjoy Physical Activity with Confidence, on Wednesday, July 15, 2009.
The education forum was moderated by Dr. Famida Jiwa, Vice President of Osteoporosis Canada, and was led by
physiotherapist Judy Murray (MScPT). Judy's presentation focused on the role of safe physical activity in
osteoporosis management and prevention. Information about exercise benefits and precautions specific to
osteoporosis was provided. Judy also led a number of live demonstrations on how to optimize mobility and
independence using safe exercise techniques.
The forum was accessed by osteoporosis patients, caregivers and
healthcare professionals across Canada. Based on the evaluation feedback received, Judy did a superb job
leading the presentation as well as incorporating a live demonstration.
