osteoporosis TamiRead this article as a start: http://www.ideafit.com/fitness-library/pilates-osteoporosis Next - go through the order and you will see how many exercise you can still do that work -the springs add resistance so that is good for strength -the chair is a great place to add weight bearing exercises without flexion -go through all the individual needs and focus on those that strengthen the thoracic extensors -avoid rolling exercises -add in standing exercises for more weight bearing. Again look at the individual needs list -when cuing cue to the critical connections, breath and of course scoop and pinch and perch this will all help strengthen the core with out adding flexion -if possible get a doctors note that tells you what to avoid and what to do for each individual -when in doubt leave it out! Any one else??? | ||||||
