Pilates Teachers - The Spine Shape to Avoid With Osteoporosis

May 03, 20220 min read

With osteoporosis, or low bone density, the thoracic vertebrae can crush fracture quite easily.

This creates a painful hump in the upper back that never goes away.

To avoid this fracture, we must teach our clients to avoid loaded thoracic flexion.

Here, I explain why.

""When I received my osteoporosis diagnosis, I messaged my friend Lynda for some sessions to get the Classical Pilates modifications.


Lynda can see 20/20 through that webcam, and her osteoporosis-safe modifications are just as challenging as the original versions, if not more so.


She won't baby you, she won't push you too much, but she will help you get stronger and understand what to modify and why."

Sunni Almond

"Lynda is creative, attentive and will work you hard - every part of you!


Her program is not just professional and accommodating but warm, personal, and tailored to your needs.


Nothing is too much trouble and she constantly comes up with new ideas to sort out any physical problems.


Highly recommend it!"

Gwen Heath Mitrano

"As a Pilates professional, I focus on my client's issues every day, and not always my own.


When I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, I needed someone I trusted to lead me through safe exercise sessions for my own body.


I can't believe how much stronger I feel and how much better my balance is in just 4 weeks!


I highly recommend Strong Bones for any woman with osteoporosis."
