What a brilliant video! At last I can do the moves I was told, 13 years ago I couldn’t. With the help from my Pilates teacher of course. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you so much! I was just diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and feel devastated because I teach Pilates … these modifications will be helpful for my own body. Still trying to figure out if I can teach to a population that doesn’t have my issues. Yes, your voice is so calming.:) I feel lucky to have found your video❤️
The soothing tone of your voice adds to the clear and concise instructions. As a 70+ who has exercised off and on much of my life I am aware of the importance of what you are saying. Thankyou 😊
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. After being told (at the age of 55) that I have osteoporosis, it has helped ease my fear of continuing with pilates.
A fabulous video and very useful. Thanks Lynne and the ROS. You've really explained everything very clearly and it's great to know the ROS have endorsed all the modifications.
With up to 80% of compression fractures being silent, people fracturing from sneezing, coughing and other flexion movements, how can you teach spinal flexion to people with bone loss. Doing spinal flexion gives you an 89% chance of a fracture.
I agree, as a Pilates teacher trainer for Osteoporosis and Osteopenia, I much prefer to give spinal extension exercises and give spinal flexion a miss, even if it is unloaded flexion, it is still flexion and if there is already a wedge fracture in the thoracic spine, then another will surely follow. Spinal extension can help to prevent initial fracture and prevent further fracture. Studies show that flexion based exercises increase risk of spinal fracture, and extension exercises assist in preventing spinal fracture.
Yes! I'm totally confused by this video. It seems to be teaching to do everything that physio and a million videos from all sorts of places which make total sense say not to do. And absolutely no spinal twisting and there are twists in this. Absolutely no bending over like that and she's showing bending over. Totally confused.
GREAT VIDEO!!! Thank you so much. I've been trying to find good advice for helping my over 50 clients stay strong even with the scary diagnosis of osteopenia (which I was just diagnosed as having) and osteoporosis!
Excellent video. Try to follow the alternative pilates exercises. Do you think I can use an elliptical machine at home as cardio exercise it has risky moves for osteoporosis???

Great alternative pilate exercises. Will use them.
I will definitely be trying the modified movements. Thank you very much for making this video!
Thank you for the information, it helps a lot just starting Pilates. You’re a good teacher and Sheryl look more like a ballet dancer, very nice .
Amazing suggested modifications to risky moves....thanks for that! 😄
