Check out even more great tips and exercises for Osteoporosis with Sara Meeks in this complete playlist ua-cam.com/play/PL8l32k1r15l6XNqzPZsDW3hVUh8NNkQSm.html
Dear Bob and Brad, Thank you so much for the series with Sara Meeks and the topic of osteoporosis. I have just gotten the diagnosis and Sara's knowledge and videos are simply a Godsend to me. I am going to be going back to watch all of them. I am so grateful for this information and I am sure it is helping a million more just like me.
I’m a yoga therapist and instructor who includes a lot of ‘belly time’ (much like we did with my kids when they were babies to develop back muscles and flexibility). Not only is it beneficial for breathing and respiratory stuff, but also great to counteract some of the forward head, kyphosis tendencies which are quite common. A modified (elbow) cobra or a sphinx pose is a great next step (even supported is an option - again as tolerated and as a progression - I have students in their 70’s doing full cobra position).
Thank you so much for sharing these helpful videos. I am doing them daily with wonderful results. I babysit my four year old granddaughter so I am constantly moving and getting up and down from the floor. When my middle back begins to ache during the day, I get on the floor and do the stretches that you taught us! Thank you!!
Can’t wait to try this! Haven’t lain on my back for years. One question: for someone with very sensitive knees after two knee replacements several years ago, are there any props or alterations to this position that would be safe and reduce pressure on the knees?
I used to. Not as much any more. I used to find it relaxing with a plump tummy that l could relax though l never knew l had been tense there. I also had a lot of tubbyness to lie on. Not so much flab anymore, so not as comfortable
Hi, thanks for your demo. My lower back kills me after I sleep on my stomach/prone. In the night I want so bad to turn onto my stomach. I will try your props and Instructions and see if I can get away with the prone position comfortably.
Great video series! I hope you do more. Are there any twisting (of the spine) exercises that are safe if I have osteopenia? I've been doing some Tai Chi warm-up exercises but several twist the spine and rotate the hips/knees. Thank you again!
I am a little confused about how often and which exercise videos to do each day. I try to walk 1 hour per day at least 5 days per week. If I try to do an hour of these exercises, I don't think I could do the walking too. Also trying to decide which video to do- I have been doing the foam roller exercise, the theraband video, leg lengthening and strengthening,, standing posture. That's a lot! just need some guidance.
Has anyone out there experienced itching with no rash mostly from the waist up towards the head ? Some told me if not allergy maybe neck or vertebrae problems,

I find prone or semi prone works well for restless leg syndrome, too.

Extremely helpful series! Thank you for your generosity in sharing this information! Hope you will consider doing another series! :)
Wonderful series. Thank you, Sara!
Thank you for the series! Easy to follow instructions and good visual helps!

I have watched several of Sarah's videos and it seems like I would be working on my bones 18 hours a day.
Please give us more. These videos are enlightening and inspiring. :)
Wonderful videos Sara.
Excellent video ❤
Thank you very much!
If you don't have a table and go down to the floor, make sure you can get back up.
Thank you for this series!
Very interesting video with lots of information
Thank you for this information! I've been hesitant to lie prone after diagnosis of osteoporosis with fragility.

I love falling asleep in this position

I’m going to try this too. I love laying on my stomach but don’t do it much but I’ll try it with props.

I would die of someone put me in a prone position when I was sick! What is the matter with the medical establishment today?
Thanks Sara Meeks!
Very Clever Lady . Matt the pilates teacher.
Very good information. Thank you!
Met her years ago !
Thank yyou Sarah...I hope to see more. ;-)
Always very very good..

Really enjoy her informative sessions! But can't the video get closer to the table. Please
I’ve been a stomach sleeper my entire life.

There is no way i can lay on my back because of spinal low back issues
How long should one lie in this position as an exercise?
i have the same question. I’m guessing start at 5 min if comfortable.
Has anyone out there experienced itching with no rash mostly from the waist up towards the head ? Some told me if not allergy maybe neck or vertebrae problems,
Just in case, check and correct your posture, you may have pinched a nerve.
Or it may be due to compression
I think John fell asleep 🥱
I bet a pool noodle would work for that hip support - would that be around the same size
They compress pretty easily.
Some people need more support
Thank you for this series!
Wonderful presentation, thank you!
