The Pilates RX

Osteoporosis doesn’t mean stop moving: it means move smarter.  
 
“Is it still safe to exercise?” is one of the most common questions we hear with an osteoporosis diagnosis. The answer is yes, with the right approach.  
 
Here’s what we consider when working with clients who have low bone density: 
 
1️⃣ Avoiding end-range spinal flexion & loaded rotation 
2️⃣ Building core stability to protect the spine 
3️⃣ Strengthening the posterior chain to offload the spine 
4️⃣ Balance & fall prevention to reduce fracture risk 
 
Pilates is perfect for this: controlled, low-impact, and endlessly modifiable. The goal isn’t to avoid movement, it’s to build strength safely. 💪
