This manual is designed as a companion to our 6 class series. In it you will find the definitions of osteoporosis and osteopenia, common fracture causes and sites, bone density testing T-score info, fracture prevention and exercise guidelines. Go to this youtube link to view the companion lecture: https: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=anCK11Vk9P0&t=203s You will also be introduced to principles of proper breathing; postural alignment and self-correction techniques; foot, knee, and hip alignment for preparation of weight-bearing and strength training exercises; spinal alignment for fracture prevention and spinal bone building exercises; and core control of the deep abdominals and trunk. All of these principles will help you to be able to exercise safely and without pain to affected joints so that you can begin to add weight and resistance for bone building exercises. There are photos and text to describe all of the recommended exercises for posture, balance, leg strengthening, spinal vertebrae strengthening, shoulder girdle strengthening, and kyphosis correction. A 48 dowel, 8 massage ball, foam roller and Fletcher Towel(R) are recommended for some exercises.
