    Thanks so much for this. No medical practitioner advises what to do, or not to do, if one had osteoporosis. I have had numerous compression fractures and still have not been given any advise. You are wonderful. Please can we have more exercises for someone who has severe osteoporosis. 🤞Maybe when you give instruction for the other exercises on your channel you would mention whether okay to perform if suffering from severe osteoporosis. Thank you S0Ooooooo much

    I have heard from numerous sources to avoid bending or twisting the spine when you are osteoporotic. However 3 PTs I have worked with are telling me it's safe because it's a smooth, not jerky, movement. It's difficult when I get such opposing opinions. I prefer to play it safe but it's a challenge during therapy sessions when the PT is telling me to do an exercise that may be unsafe.

    My heart stopped when i heard “row” in one of the exercise no-nos. I have a rowing machine (waterrower) at home that i have been using 5 minutes a day (most days). I also have severe osteoporosis. I hope the rowing machine is ok. I try to keep my back straight as suggested in the product video. I get your point about tiredness making it difficult to keep your back secure (as you said when discussing the dead lift) so i will pay attention to that. But if rowing is a cause for concern, please let me know. Thank you!

    Thanks, Will for this valuable information. I've heard it from other PT, Pilate instructors and really understand the importance. Will forward-bending with a flat back (without weight) all right for people who are in the osteopenia category? In a typical ballet class, we do forward bending (a type of port de bras) with a flat back (forming a right angle with the legs) before bending further to touch the legs if possible. Thanks in advance for your input.

    Are you familiar with the back stretcher machine? Your body is supported up to the pelvis at 45°, and you bend down at the waist and come back up into a straight line. I've been doing it for years without incident, but as I just learned I have osteoporosis last year, I wonder if I should do it.
