Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 5 days ago | Replies (362)Comment receiving replies
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!!

Hi @tash, I replied to your post yesterday, but I don't see it here.
Dr. Fishman's 12 Poses vs Osteoporosis improves bone density and there are adaptive poses for those with osteoporosis. Here is the link:
Dr. Fishman's studies can be viewed at http://www.sciataca.org
Also check out Bob and Brad's podcast with Sara Meeks, "Osteoporosis, There is Something You can Do."

Since your back is fragile, Margaret Martin has posted exercises that can be done with compression fractures.

If these links don't work, just Google the names and titles and you'll get them.
I did opt to take alendronate for my osteoporosis.
I wish you the best.

Hi @tasha
I am not a physician so I cannot comment on your osteoporosis.
Here is a link to an interview with Dr. Loren Fishman, "More Than Anatomy."

I do take alendronate, and I have been doing Dr. Fishman's 12 Poses everyday for a number of months right now. There is more information about his study and work at http://www.sciataca.org
Another good resource is Bob and Brad's podcast with Sara Meeks, a Physical Therapist who specializes in osteoporosis, "Osteoporosis ...There is Something You Can Do."
I wish you the best,
Teri
