High impact foot hop study 50 hops a day for osteoporosis

@vixstermoves If you are referring to this article: "Feasibility, safety and efficacy of OsteoStrong® in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density: A pilot study", please note that it is scheduled for publication in the "Bones" Journal in December. Abstracts of full articles are often available prior to publication.

While this does not relate to the topic in this discussion, it is the first rigorous study of OsteoStrong. Interesting to note that one of the authors received financial support form OsteoStrong Australia. I look forward to reading the whole article when available.

@mlledaffodil My osteopath doesn’t recommend high impact exercises for people with spinal problems…be very careful !

@sueinmn

Wow, thank you for this share.
I had not seen this article. My conclusions came from my own experience. 12 months of dutiful visits. A dexa scan before and after. This backs up my conclusion. I did 12 months.

@shamrock24 - Thi is encouraging. How long will you be on Reclast?

@susanjohnston
I have had 2 Reclast infusions. My doctor told me that I would need a couple more, and then Prolia. I don’t think that I want to go down that route, so we will see. My next scan is in the fall of 2026. If my scan is decent, I may rethink this plan. I’m 66 years old, and don’t want to be on medication forever. However, the 3 compression fractures of the spine were very painful.

Thanks so much. So you will have been on Reclast for four years. I know that Prolia is tricky and risky in terns of how and when to stop. I did not know that we can never seem to end medication after Reclast.

Not recommended should you have had knee or hip replacements.

How do you do it?

@sueinmn
Im 63 osteoporosis found with 1st dexa. On forteo daily. I want to exercise specifically for bone strength, however most PT and trainers dont have the knowledge and focus.
Any recommendations to source an effective exercise plan in addition to food and vits?

@donnapace Research! The PTs and trainers are out there - start asking you doctor, your friends, search on line...You are looking for a Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) who handles individual cases, not a "cookie cutter" PT who prescribed PT after an injury or joint replacement. If you have a large PT organization near you, look them up online or call and ask. Also, look to the Y or others who have "Silver Sneaker" programs (even if you don't qualify yourself.) The coaches and trainers there are used to dealing with mature bodies and adapting exercise programs.
