Hi @tash, I used to do Pilates but stopped. Dr. Loren Fishman has a yoga program that improves bone density. It's called 12 Poses vs Osteoporosis and has three variations - for osteoporosis, osteopenia, and the regular poses. Algaecal also broke them ou and posted each version separately. I like Dr. Fishman's version because it's quick - about 15 minutes. You can Find it on YouTube. I started with the osteoporosis version, now am doing the regular poses. I also walk about 40 minutes most days. Take care.

I'm 69. Dexa a year ago and last week:
Lumbar spine: T-2.6 -2.7
Z -.06 -.06
BMD .757 .748
Femoral neck T -3.1 -2.9
Z -1.3 -1.1
BMD .509 .525
Total hip: T-2.7 -0.2
Z -1.3 -.5
BMD .613 .704
after 1 year of OTC supplements and the gym vast improvement in hip, but back has no change. I have a painful deteriorating spine as well. How do I get similar improvements in my spine w/o meds? What exercises can I do? I need to see some improvement as the new rheumatologist will only be interested in meds. Is my osteoporosis considered severe? My GP told me I should not be exercising at all!!
