Hi Margaret I purchased the $70 posture series online in the fall. I was unable to complete the series because of pain from compression fractures. I have been through X-ray and MRI tests and in physical therapy for six months. Can I still access the course? Thank you.

Hi Chris. Thank you for your update and congratulations on your commitment to your exercise program. Margaret is unable to comment on any individual case in the absence of a consultation.

Hi Margaret. I have just completed active level of your Exercise fir Better Bones. Loving this! I am feeling stronger by far. I do have osteoporosis-2.5 and due for dexa scan June 1. I have decided not to take any biphosphonates at this time and instead will continue exercising as well as taking collagen and calcium. Your thoughts on bypassing Reclast and/or Prolia would be appreciated as this was a difficult decision. I have lost height ( one and a half inches) and an 69 years old. Osteoporosis is in family history and I worry about shrinking! Thank you again for your wonderful book and videos which demonstrate exercises. So very helpful!!

I’m in my mid-50s and was recently diagnosed with severe osteoporosis of the spine (-4.4) — grateful to have found your site with such comprehensive and insightful information. Does loss of height indicate compression fracture or is it in any way related to bone quality? Also, is there any relationship between osteoporosis and arthritis of the spine (L1-L4)?
Many thanks,

In reply to Betty. Hi Betty, You can certainly be doing intelligent, safe strength training, balance exercises and brisk walking. You should stay within the Beginner and Active Level strength exercises in my book Exercise for Better Bones. Your Forteo treatment is coming to an end, they usually recommend 18 months. Once your bone density is redone your question is a valid one to discuss with your doctor. I cannot give you a definitive answer because I do not know what your posture looks like, your running style or your current bone status. All the best, Margaret
