Product Description
Fractures that occur during exercise leave most people thinking that they have only strained their backs or overdone an exercise. In some cases, many tiny fractures can develop before a person sees a doctor about increasing back pain. The more tiny fractures that accumulate, the greater the deformity of the spine.
Karena Thek Lineback has devised a plan to make sure this does not happen to you. The four-part plan consists of:
Safe movement for exercise and everyday living.
Postural awareness.
Diet.
Medication.
In this book, you will find safe movement guidelines and an entire exercise program of OsteoPilates designed to be safe for those with osteoporosis, to help you greatly reduce your risk of injury or debilitating fracture. You will also find all the nuts and bolts of osteoporosis information necessary to combat this crippling condition. You ll learn what causes osteoporosis (perhaps you have a habit that is decreasing your bone density right now!), the effect menopause has on bone density, what dietary habits will help improve bone density, and which medications are available for increasing bone density.
There is much you can do to prevent osteoporosis and to decrease the negative effects low bone density can have on your life and well-being. OsteoPilates tells you what to do and how to do it.

Great little book October 21, 2009

The charts were difficult to figure out. I could not place my own Tscores on the chart with any sense at all. I showed the book to pilates instructors as well as doctors without making sense of the chart. I have been doing pilaes for 3 years and the modified versions of the exercizes did not make me feel that I was getting a good workout.
 do not flex the spine March 16, 2006

Excellent book.......very detailed and easy to understand. I also find myself very concientious about keeping good posture whilst performing the exercises. "do not flex the spine" goes through my mind so many times during the course of the day, you would be surprised at how often we all do that, and I have learned from this book that, that is not a good thing.
 sort of disappointed October 8, 2005

UPon reading this book, I talked to my Dr. about the exercises 'not recommended'. ie: forward bends and movements similar to those. I have exercised all of my life and maintaining flexibility in my spine is very important. The Dr. said to continue those exercises. Why would one want to NOT keep the spine flexible? It is a good book tho, the exercises are easy to do and it is clearly written and the pictures are helpful.
packed with good info, exercise section poorly laid out August 20, 2004

This is a very informative book, worth the read, but I gave it only 4 stars because of the exercise section. It has LOTS of excellent exercises, but for some reason, they would start an exercise explanation on the right page, then you have to turn the page to continue with it. You end up with the pointer pictures and the don't-do-this pictures of the previous exercise on the same two page spread as the explanatory photos of the next exercise, which is inconvenient and confusing. Would it have been SO hard to publish the book with a few more pages to enable each exercise to be on it's own two-page spread, without encroaching on the next exercise? This is a great reference book, but they need to make the exercise section more 'user-friendly'.
