windyshores,
Bending and twisting is my biggest fear. I had PT last year after my total hip replacement and I told the PT that osteoporosis was my bigger concern. When I told him that I needed help avoiding a BLT (bend,lift,twist), he didn’t know what I was talking about. I explained that I must pick up my 12 pound, blind, elderly dog several times a day. He taught me how to do this correctly. So far, so good.

Wow so glad you can care for your dog!
I should amend my comment that of course certain falls can cause fractures. But for spine, twists and bending did me in and docs agreed that was the biggest risk for spine. I don't want to fall on hip though! Considering hip pads!

Form is so important. I take care of my grand child 2x a week - 19 wiggly pounds so I am extremely mindful since the diagnosis. I need to see a PT or find myself a knowledgable trainer. I do a lot more bending and twisting than anything that would cause me to fall so I understand exactly what you're saying.
