Love the simplicity of this book and one can get started immediately with the exercises, since it is a small book, to the point and gives helpful hints. What's really nice are the illustrations, since one doesn't have to think about alignment but simply look at the pictures. I am using these exercises consistently and will happily share with friends. This book is not only appropriate for people with bone density issues, but contains information that can benefit most anyone.

Sullivan Wed, 03 Mar 2010 05:48:19 +0000 http://www.healthmedicalinformation.com/osteoporosis-an-exercise-guide#comment-1564 I was recently diagnosed with severe osteoporosis and learned the things I absolutely shouldn't do (like bend forward from the waist) during physical therapy, so I knew as soon as I looked through this book that it was safe for someone with my condition to use. I highly recommend this book, but would also say that you should have your doctor look it over and give approval. If you have osteoporosis, you should always check with your doctor before starting any exercise program.

It is more of a booklet than a book. However, it has great exercises (about 15 in all) with well-drawn illustrations and easy to understand text so there's no problem doing the excercises, and you can easily incorporate most of them into day-to-day living. There is valuable information for anyone dealing with low bone density. I learned quite a lot about which exercises are beneficial for a person with low bone density, and (even more importantly), which exercises could cause injury.

It is written by a physical therapist who has chosen specific exercises that can strengthen bones. The book is beautifully illustrated and very simple to follow. I advise any patient who wants to begin exercising to start with this book. I wish there were more books available that were as concise and helpful to one's overall health.
