Online, Self-Paced, Evidence Based Courses for Improving #BoneHealth

Dr Ruth White
Welcome to Build Behaviours Build Bones, I’m Dr Ruth White, PhD
This is the place to access the self-paced, evidence based courses I offer.
With close to 40 years experience as a physiotherapist and almost twenty years’ experience working inside a specialist pain clinic, I learned that one of the most important things for helping people was to make sure people felt “safe.”
I also live with low bone density.
Now, I help women begin their bone health journey with a bone safe plan
and I help clinicians and coaches learn & apply the B.O.N.E.S approach.

Self-Paced First Steps Bone Workshop for Women
Do you want to feel safe enough in the very next moment to begin your bone health plan?
Hi, I’m Dr Ruth White. Inside the First Steps Bone Workshop I will show you exactly what you need to do to preserve and build your bone density.
This is the same program I follow myself.
What you’ll get:
5+ Hours of On-Demand Content
Bite- Sized Learning
I will teach you exactly how to start, plus teach you the “anchors” and “add-ons” for building bone.
You will learn what to do if there’s a flare-up of pain
I teach you what to do if things get “off-track”
The course is not an exercise library, it provides two evidence based program templates
You will learn the science around bone nutrition with examples (not recipes)
I provide you with practical worksheets you can download and use at home.
The workshop is designed to complement (not replace) the care from your GP and healthcare team.
