What Bone Density Scans Can't Tell You About Fracture Risk | A Masterclass on Bone Health

In this masterclass episode, Simon Hill brings together six bone health experts to unpack the science of fracture risk beyond bone density scans. They discuss why DEXA results can be misleading, the role of bone shape and quality, and the importance of strength training—even a bare minimum program—for maintaining bone integrity. They also challenge the phrase 'bone on bone' as unnecessarily alarming, and offer practical advice for incorporating movement into daily life. The overarching message: the best program is the one you can sustain.
