Hi,
Ok, so what about Pilates and osteoporosis? It’s more a series of “Don’ts” from the look of it. If there’s any osteoporosis in the thoracic spine – the bit between the shoulderblades – over time the spine will crumple in on itself to form what is known as “Dowager’s Hump”. And at this point it gets nasty…seems like just about ANYTHING (including sneezing) can cause the vertebrae to fracture. Don’t like the sound of that!
If you would like to read the rest of the article Pilates and Osteoporosis - Part One please click the link.
All the best,
Carol
