Your bone health conversation kit

Questions for your DXA follow-up

Bring your report, medication and supplement list, and notes about falls or fractures. Choose the questions that matter most to you.

• How are starting loads, technique, symptoms and progression assessed?
• What happens after a fall, new pain, or a break from training?
• What equipment, total price, cancellation terms and insurance arrangements apply?
• Does the evidence concern this exact service, or a different supervised research program?

A simple training conversation log

Record the exercises already agreed with your clinician or program. This worksheet does not prescribe loads or tell you when to increase them.

Training records show practice and performance, not changes in bone density. Discuss scan changes with your care team.
