Osteoporosis is a progressive metabolic bone disease characterized by loss of bone density and mass, which makes bones porous and prone to fractures. It is a disease that has gained momentum nowadays due to increased life expectancy and a sedentary lifestyle. It is classified as a primary form that occurs due to the reduced function of seks hormones, which is why it mostly affects postmenopausal women and a secondary form that occurs as a result of the physiological aging process. It is often referred to as the ''silent thief'' because symptoms appear already at an advanced stage of the disease, although it can last years earlier. The first and worst indicator of the disease is a bone fracture. Fractures most often occur in the neck of the femur, spine and wrist. Osteoporosis is most often not diagnosed on purpose, but upon arrival for an examination due to a fracture or chronic back pain. Densitometry is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring the course of the disease. In order to maintain the quality of life, physiotherapy is omnipresent in the patient's life in the form of education and counseling the patient about healthy lifestyle habits, food rich in calcium and vitamin D, medicines, and all the benefits od physical activity in the fight against the disease. The therapy plan and program are designed together with the patient because only a clearly defined goal is sufficient motivation to take control of the disease, prevent falls, and achieve independence. A holistic approach by health professionals and the support and help of the family is urgently needed, as it has been proven that people who have the support of their loved ones recover much faster from a chronic illnes than those who experience it alone.
