I am so honoured to have been awarded a @heartfoundation Postdoctoral Fellowship to improve our understanding of how #CVD develops in #women and how we recognise & screen for CVD in women!

Lots of fun presenting on #osteoporosis 🦴as a risk factor for #cardiovasculardisease🫀and networking with international EMCRs at the Asia Pacific IFMRS – International Federation of Musculoskeletal Research Societies Herbert Fleisch Workshop linkedin.com/posts/cassandr…

A privilege to be an invited speaker to the 2025 ANZ Bone & Mineral Society #ANZBMS meeting here in Cairns to give a talk on co-existing #osteoporosis 🦴 and #cardiovasculardisease 🫀with a focus on #exercise 💪🏃‍♀️ as a key lifestyle strategy linkedin.com/posts/cassandr…

Thanks @ASBMR for a wonderful meeting so far! A lot of fun talking on and raising the awareness for 💪#musclematters not just for movement but for #disease 🫀🧠🦴 and #exercise for #healthyageing #ASBMR2025 thank you & honoured to have been invited✨@OBruyere @DrGustavoDuque

@carlosaurregov @DrGustavoDuque 💪

💪🏻 Moving Matters! Great clinical symposium led by @DrGustavoDuque and Dr. Kim at #ASBMR2025 discussing “How Exercise and Inactivity Shape Muscle and Bone Health” 🩻

Although #fracture risk is often lower in #osteopenic women than in those with #osteoporosis, their greater number means that most fractures occur in osteopenic individuals thelancet.com/journals/landi… #osteopenia #BoneHealth

Although #weightloss in people with #obesity has many health benefits, it can also have adverse #skeletal effects, with increased #bone loss and #fracture risk thelancet.com/journals/landi… #osteoporosis #BoneHealth

@celiagregson @M_O_Breasail @ThruZim Well done @M_O_Breasail 👏👏

Many congratulations @M_O_Breasail !! Great to see high-quality research @ThruZim being recognised. Thank you #IMS2024 #Menopausal bone health

My grandma who suffered from osteoporotic fractures passed away last month. Osteoporosis is a silent killer, often unnoticed until fracture occurs. Today is #WorldOsteoporosisDay, so let's: 📢 Spread awareness 🩺 Encourage BMD checks 🔬 Support research to fight this disease

Couldn’t agree more, our children learn so much from us - be active, move together and have fun

Australian Physio Assoc'n just posted for World OP Day that "osteoporosis is a preventable but irreversible condition." 🤦‍♀️Tell that to all our clients reversing OP with #ONERO exercise! With such ill-informed msging from the 'experts', no wonder it's so hard to change practice!
