Understanding how much is safe to lift with osteoporosis

@patwerthman, here is why my physical therapist also told me that I should not do any running or jumping:
Lumbar Spine BMD (L1-L4): T-Score: -4.0
Since everyone has different bone density, the advice that a physical therapist gives to me would probably be different than the advice that a physical therapist would give to you. I gave my physical therapist my DEXA Scan results at my first PT appointment.

@shorty321 my t score in my spine was -4.6 and I still jogged. The DEXA doesn’t measure your bone strength. Like you said advice is all over the place.

Absolutely! Your response couldn’t be any more timely! I am meeting with one today and agree 100%! I’m not far off from where your numbers are. And I don’t envision myself jumping around. Especially not on a trampoline!!! Ugh, I’ve always been cautious, but no way will I risk falling by doing something that seems ridiculous to me. Thanks so much
