I wasn't able to access the article, @sheilad1, but the title is discouraging. Dr. Loren Fishman "12 Poses vs Osteoporosis" has a study in which participants who did the 12 yoga poses over 2 years increased their bone density. The bone density of the participants who did no yoga decreased. You can google for the YouTube video and also visit http://www.sciataca.org
Bob and Brad, physical therapists on the internet have a podcast with Sara Meeks, a physical therapist specializing in osteoporosis, in which they discuss exercises for osteoporosis, "Osteoporosis - There is Something You Can Do."
I hope this helps.
