I explain osteoporosis of the spine and how to avoid a vertebral compression fracture.

I never knew about the thoracic osteoporosis. Why do the drs not address this fundamental knowledge. It is so logical and yet, not a single word! Your video is so caring and so knowledgeable. Thank you. 💗

Hi Margaret, Thanks so much for this video. I have osteoporosis in the spine so this is very useful for me. Can you please clarify, do the impactful exercises like running then not worth doing if the problem is in the spine? So you would recommend weightlifting primarily?

Dear Margret, Thank you for these important to know facts about the spine. This is so helpful! All the best to you!

I really enjoyed your blog on keeping our bones strong as we age that makes lots of sense in how we exercise. I’ve been doing Yoga and now Pilates as well. Following your advise and movements will help immensely.
I feel grateful to have found your videos. You’re just what I needed at this time feeling bewildered from a diagnosis of high risk fractures caused by Osteopenia.
Thank you for allowing me to follow you! 🌈👍🤗

Thanks Margaret, I have both of your books. I also train in Australia using the Liftmor method, so I am doing my best. This Wednesday I have my follow-up scan after 12 months. I also take Vit D and get 1300mg calcium per day from food. So it will be interesting to see how my scan goes.
