Recommendations PT for osteoporosis (spine)

Can anyone recommend a good physical therapist for someone with osteoporosis? I've seen a lot of PT psts but cannot find any that speak to someone experienced in osteoporosis (that is also well liked). Emory/Tucker area is preferred but getting the right person is most important. TIA.

Hello, osteoporosis is a common enough condition that any orthopedic based PT should be able to help you out. Go here: https://aptaapps.apta.org/APTAPTDirectory/CertifiedSpecialistDirectory.aspx

Under specialty, select orthopedic, and then add your location to narrow down.

In general, treatment for osteoporosis in the absence of injury is strength and conditioning, good diet, and PCP management of medications and should not require a specialist beyond that.
