Teri, I couldn't get that link to open on cellphone. Are these exercises shown on YouTube the same?

Hi @tsc. Thanks for the Dr Fishman's 12 poses. I had found them (the YouTube video with Dr Fishman himself and all 3 versions) and tried them but failed miserably at some of the bending levels....even the least drastic osteoporosis ones. And one or two twisting ones made me super nervous because of the combo of the "avoid/don't" twist contradictory advice I've seen/read plus my problems doing some of those...the twist with both hands eventually touching the wall...oh my! I've got longstanding back/neck trouble, which now the OP has piled onto. I'm liking the Osteoporosis-only version....I'll try that next! I can always do another pose during any problematic ones; it's just so disheartening to have to do that. New normals....
