Has anyone improved bone density without meds?

Can you share with us what type of weightlifting machines you use. I’d like to use weightlifting techniques to increase my bone density but I have seven fractured vertebrae and I have to be very careful about what I do

Did you have a physical therapist coach you on how much weight, how many repetitions and the type of machine that you use?

I worked with a trainer for 8 sessions at our local YMCA--using all of the machines there--pretty much standard fare at most gyms. We started out with very light weights and I've worked up from there, the weight is varied depending on the machine. I also stretch daily and use hand-weights--nothing over 10 pounds.
The fractures seem to necessitate some kind of help with weight lifting. Wishing you luck as you venture forth.
