Please...bring Sara back...bring Sara back...bring Sara back for another podcast. I need the knowledge of how to treat myself. Thank you Bob for all you and Brad do. It is so much appreciated.
For years I've had doctors wanting me to get bone scans, with the hope of getting me to take meds. I'm a small woman, so that automatically makes me susceptible, apparently. I'll be 70 this year, and last November I had a bad fall as I was attempting to get on my horse. I landed on hard, compacted dirt, and it caused a lateral plateau fracture of the tibia. Of course, my doctor (actually a PA I like very much) now wants me to get a bone scan, and is already recommending Fosamax. But, I do not want to take drugs, especially after reading about the possible side effects. I talked to my surgeon about this, and he actually felt comfortable with my decision, especially since I said I was more than willing to exercise and do whatever possible to naturally work to strengthen my bones. One thing I have noticed is that while I've loved doing Pilates (for instance), so many exercises are dangerous for backs (lots of twists and rolling hips off the ground to extend legs overhead), in particular, and now I'm seeing what Sara had to say about tucking the pelvis! I have a good diet, and what I need to do now is modify my exercise. I also wanted to add that when I recently saw my PA my height has not changed. Thank you so much for these podcasts/videos, and I also see that Bob and Brad have several videos on exercise for osteoporosis. As we grow older, one of the things that is especially important is being able to maintain our mobility. I have things I enjoy doing, and lots of interests; I do not intend to stop.
Bob, I’m so grateful for this interview with Sarah Meeks because I was just diagnosed with this condition. I follow all your videos and find them to be a godsend. Pleases keep up this wonderful information sharing that is so difficult to otherwise obtain!
Great episode. ! I love this lady! She is so knowledgeable and rational. I love how she’s about treating people sensibly and naturally. This is how all healthcare providers should be! Please keep having her on as a guest. Better yet,, Sara should start her own channel.
That hummingbird breath is awesome and does help! You can also advance it further by gently closing one of side of your nose and breathing in through the open nostril and then hum that breath outward (just like the hummingbird breath here, just with one nostril at a time). Repeat a couple times and then switch sides. No need to overdo it. You’ll notice needing to blow your nose more and more as you continue to notice your nasal/sinus passageways opening and becoming clearer. Thank you Sara! And thanks Bob and Brad.
Thank you for doing these videos with Sara. I have been so depressed with my condition and my prognosis but these videos have changed everything for me. She gives so many examples of immediate things we can do so we don’t feel so helpless. Please have her on again. She is amazing and so positive. 😇
My husband loves you both...he has parkinsons and finds it hard to understand the need to keep on keeping on which is so important for parkinsons...we go to a neuro physio clinic too, but you provide stimulus with your delightful human approach. i also want to thank you for having sara meek, because many probably would not want to share here expertise, but you are truly great physios by sharing your knowledge and helping share with other experts in theri field. Thank you so much.
I gained a half inch after I was done with this video. I am 1" below my normal at 66 yrs old. Thank you both so much. I'll have to practice with that breathing.
That's very encouraging. My question is, if we do these exercises frequently will the height increase be long term or only for a few hours afterward? Even short term would be a good thing for me though.
It's not only for the height for me, but it was an indicator. What these stretches do for me is strengthen my back. Every time I plop into my chair I'm compressing each little section of my back bone. I also push up and shake my buns before getting up or down from my arm chair. The best I have found are my sister's old fashioned wooden crutches. Does all core muscles, ribs area, shoulders with upper back. Also stretch the back of my calves to relieve the muscles that cause restless leg syndrome. Some kind of acid build up, forgot what it's called.
Bob and Brad you are the most famous physical therapists. Thankyou so much for having this wonderful person on your channel. I'm going to have to study this segment, but I need to know exactly what she is talking about. What a blessing, and blessings to you and your guest for giving us this information. Ann
Thank you Sarah for all the info you gave. I’ve severe osteoporosis diagnosed with my first compression fracture of T12 helping my husband move a tube television. Yes I was dumb to even try. Had kyphoplasty done but still continued to have pretty bad lumber pain. Turns out as time gone on the vertebrae below t12 started having silent micro fractures. No pain but my lower lumber constantly hurt me again mri showed more micro fractures……..a collapse happened when I was pulling an 3 shelf empty bookcase across tge carpet when I pulled it to turn the corner in the room my low back popped. Took me down to my knees. From T9 T11 down to L1L5 I am fused. Bone taken from my right hip help with scattered bones I have screws n rods holding my spine together rehabilitation afterwards was excruciating pain lumbar it was difficult for me to stand tge pressure was awful 1 mo later im home still in pain but not as horrific as it was. This surgery was 5 years ago. I am now hunched over with mid back pain at the thoracic curve and the screws are bulging at ny skin. Yea it’s gross u can see each screw head sticking out. Ugly as hell. I can not lay on my back screw heads hurt with pressure I have to use a walker so I can push myself up enough so my ribs don’t restrict my lungs. Please get 2-3 Opinions before deciding on fusion spine surgery when you have osteoporosis. Not a good idea to bounce in a trampoline if u have pretty bad osteoporosis don’t want ur spine to collapse should you land a certain way. Ask u dr First. Im gonna check out that brace Sarah mentioned, but I think my screws stick out to far. Thanks for listening.
Oh my gosh thank you Bob and Sara for doing these videos. I just got my diagnosis of osteoporosis a few weeks ago and was in a world of fear and denial. Just as Sara described in the stages of Death and Dying! Now listening to the Sara Meeks videos I feel able to try and help myself(and not with drugs either!) with the Meeks exercizes and feel a whole lot more positive. There are no osteoporosis experts around where I live so these videos are my lifeline. Thx so much!
I'm in my seventies and yesterday it was walking pretty fast and my knee went out and so I started watching these. I know I have osteoporosis and I quit doing collagen smoothies when I got too busy and rolling around on a swim noodle on the floor for my back and I quit going to the chiropractor until my insurance kicks in in January and I have osteoporosis so I started watching my favorite two guys Bob and Brad and I'm glad I came across this. I'm going to start my smoothies, the breathing and lying on my back with a swim noodle. I am doing the number one knee strengthening exercise also. I ordered the correct brace and getting a kane today.Thanks!
I'm a yoga teacher who works with a yoga + osteoporosis group. I can tell you that there is a huge push in the yoga community to stop asking for a tucked tail. This has been going on for a few years. But I must say that there are teachers out there that still do that. . My advice is that if you come across a teacher who is doing this, know that they are not keeping up with their education.
Thank you for introducing us to a very genuine and innovative personality that’s full of knowledge and wisdom that’s willing to share passionately all that she knows and more. Would love to listen & see her more often.
I love all your videos. Thank you so much for your generous sharing with all. As a registered yoga instructor, I have one correction for the rapid expulsion breathing yoga practice shared by Sara. It is Kapalabhati and not Kabalabhati. Translated in Sanskrit it means skull shining. Kapala specifically means forehead part of the skull. Thank you Sara for bringing this to all. Peace!
Years ago I had a T9 fracture, which was when I discovered I had osteoporosis. Took bisphosphinates (for about a year) and developed osteonecrosis in my jaw which didn't show up until years after. Fortunately my bone loss has been a lot less, this video is a Godsend. Thank you!!!!
It’s been a long while since you’ve done these videos. I just what to thank you for this series and for Sara! I’m so grateful. For the past decade, I’ve had bunion surgery on both feet, meniscus surgery on my R knee (so far) and now rotator cuff surgery 2x’s in 6 months. Still in recovery. Both on R shoulder. I figured out it was body mechanics, never knew how to adjust myself. And I’ve carried around extra weight. It’s a host of things my poor body has had to deal with. Now I’m sure I’ve come into osteoporosis. Will be doing a Dexa scan to confirm. I was very close in 2017. I’m 75 now and have been working up until Jan ‘24 when I had the 1st RC surgery. My shoulder was rolled in and posture was off. I think it’s from using the mouse, driving all these years. Anyway, the desk job hasn’t been my friend. Anyway, I’m so grateful to get this information you all have provided. Sara has given me a better and positive attitude about osteoporosis and gives me hope. Thank god for hope! just wanted to be in touch. I found you guys awhile back and you’ve provided a wealth of info that’s helped me get through many of these issu
Sara you are incredible and so inspiring. You look so healthy and young. I feel better just watching and listening to you. I feel so much more hopeful about my osteoporosis diagnosis. I will be using these techniques and visiting your website.
this is such useful info bob and brad…. never heard of a person as knowledgeable about osteoporosis as sarah meeks. please bring her back to talk about what she thinks of diet , supplements , medication
This is amazing. I have 5 fractures I am going to do her alignment for sure and get checked next month at the doctor and see if I gained my 3 inches back.
Wow. This woman is amazing. I would love to get consultation. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and was told by the surgeon that he could shave down the bump on my spine that would relieve the pain on my nerve and wonder if i should do it or not.
Thank you so very much for this presentation. Sara is such a lovely lady, so enthusiastic and authentic. A real sweetie. Plus she knows so much!! Very helpful, very encouraging and very entertaining. Bob, you are a breath of fresh air, just a really good bloke. Thanks again.
As she says here (55:20) but make sure you (or your nurse or medical assistant) measures your height while your in your stocking feet (so that your shoes are off) so you get sn accurate, precise height measurement.
Thank you Sara and Brad for this awesome information. Giving hope to those of us with osteoporosis that there is a way to live without those harmful "bone-building" drugs.
Just was diagnosed last week with severe osteoporosis . Such great information; and I really love this lady; My maiden name is Meeks, so maybe we’re related 😀
Thank you for these videos with Sara Meeks. So much valuable information and providing confidence that you can do something about osteoporosis other than taking drugs. Looking forward to being able to acquire her hand outs on doing these exercises.
Thank you so much for this information! I hope Sara will come back again on your program. She is a delight. And she is sorely needed to help people who are dealing with this condition. There aren't many experts in the field of osteoporosis. Many people could benefit from knowledge as well as they could benefit from hope that improvement of the condition is possible.
Thank you both for all the information you gave…looking forward to seeing a new podcast on further information that makes it easier to live with osteoporosis ❣️
OMG, you have made my day! This is just what I’m looking for. Thank you, You’re a Blessing also looking forward to see more of your lessons. Hopefully also good for.. Osteopenia
Interesting what she says about not tucking your tailbone. The Tai Chi instructor I use is always saying to keep your lower back tucked under. So that's what I was doing and every time I did my Tai Chi class, afterwards I would have a numbness or weird feeling in my lower back. So I stopped tucking my tailbone under and so far, I no longer have that problem.
Regarding the Hummingbird Breath (25 min), there are a few UA-cam videos which teach humming as a method of increasing your nitric oxide (not nitrous oxide!).
thank you so much for osteoporosis helps. i was just diagnosed and was amazed and very saddened. There is no doctor who is knowledgeable on my plan so all I have is my gp. I will do any exercises to help my health but all she wants to do is put me on meds.
SHE IS AN AMAZING GENEROUS HONEST LADY.SHE GAVE ME SO MUCH INFORMATIONS,BLEW MY MIND.PLEASE DO MORE PODCAST ,YOU ARE ASTAR.THANK YOU ,VERY GRATEFUL,MAY GOD BLESS YOU.GET HER BACK WITH YOU ALL TIME.PLEASE
Regarding the mouth breathing: two years ago I started using the Somnifix mouth tapes at night. So I guess in-a-way, the tapes forced my body to do a better job at nose breathing and now when I become aware that I’m mouth breathing during the day it is sooo much easier to breathe through my nose. Bonus was no more chronic dry lips.
I have been in three car wrecks and I have multiple fractures in my body I have osteoarthritis and I suffer from PTSD and I have trumatic arthritis and just had knee replacement surgery and I have ran track in school and I have had neck surgery as well and I am so reluctant on traditional PT because it only makes things worse for me
Have you dealt with osteoporosis caused by hyperparathoidism. I also deal with years of loading my spine lifting patients as a Paramedic. I did and still do weight bearing exercises throughout and even before my career. I'm fused from L3 to S1. My neck isn't in much better shape.
Thank you. I was wondering if you have a pdf that you can link of an outline of the exercises, in order of sequence that you all are suggesting . I think it would be nice to have an outline in print, so I could coordinate your exercises to my music in the privacy of my home.
Thank you for teaching me soooo much with clarity in a short time. I watched your last interview several times as I shall this one too. THANK YOU ALL INCLUDING UA-cam....xxx n
Thank you so much Sara. The information you’ve provided has been so valuable. Please continue to do more videos, it is the only place where we here in Australia can get any help for Osteoporosis. Thank you so much again.
Second one I watched of Sara’s videos. Thank you so……. Much Sara. And to Bob And Brad. So informative & relevant to my husband & I right now. Thank you !!! For having Sara again. 💜’d it! 🇨🇦🙏🏼
Fabulous presentation. Many thanks Dr Sara for your generosity expertise and time. I will be emailing for further info. God bless you and your family and team always ❤
Amazing information. She's remarkable. Is her book accessible to the lay person? I have developed scoliosis in my 70s. No one has given me any hope of halting the progression. I am determined to live my best life. Thank you for presenting such helpful pod asts and exercise programs. You rock!
Good morning, Thanks so much for this great information. One thing I am curious about is what role nutrition plays in recovering from or living with Osteoporosis. My dr immediately advised taking Vitamin D and calcium supplements. After doing some online research, it appeared to me that getting calcium from food would be much superior. Do you have any comments on the role nutrition plays in osteoporosis?
Thank you so much, all three of you, for this impressive, easy to follow series. I have MS and get so frustrated trying to find things I can do easily from home, to support/improve, my range of movement. I so appreciate finding all of you! Wendy from rural 🇨🇦☺️
Please...bring Sara back...bring Sara back...bring Sara back for another podcast. I need the knowledge of how to treat myself. Thank you Bob for all you and Brad do. It is so much appreciated.
Will do!
Bring Sarah back. She makes me feel better about my diagnosis.
For years I've had doctors wanting me to get bone scans, with the hope of getting me to take meds. I'm a small woman, so that automatically makes me susceptible, apparently.

Thank you for bringing her back !!!!! Yes!!!
Great episode. ! I love this lady! She is so knowledgeable and rational. I love how she’s about treating people sensibly and naturally. This is how all healthcare providers should be! Please keep having her on as a guest. Better yet,, Sara should start her own channel.
I do believe that experience is the best teacher. “She” is !!!
This woman is very knowledgeable about this topic. Glad to see her again.

I am 69 and was diagnosed with Osteoporosis today. Last year I had a compression at L-1. Thank you for this video and Sara email.
Thank you for doing these videos with Sara. I have been so depressed with my condition and my prognosis but these videos have changed everything for me. She gives so many examples of immediate things we can do so we don’t feel so helpless. Please have her on again. She is amazing and so positive. 😇
I totally understand how you feel! Keep working toward better health! Blessings... daisy
Same for me.
I agree. She has a slot of knowledge and experience to share. How are you doing with your bones and has her advice helped you?
My husband loves you both...he has parkinsons and finds it hard to understand the need to keep on keeping on which is so important for parkinsons...we go to a neuro physio clinic too, but you provide stimulus with your delightful human approach. i also want to thank you for having sara meek, because many probably would not want to share here expertise, but you are truly great physios by sharing your knowledge and helping share with other experts in theri field. Thank you so much.
So thankful for Sara! She's gotten me started on the right path to healing!
I gained a half inch after I was done with this video. I am 1" below my normal at 66 yrs old. Thank you both so much. I'll have to practice with that breathing.
I’ve lost an inch and a half, and I’m 55😢
Take this stuff seriously. I recently broke my back. A wedge compaction fracture. The most painful experience in my life. And expensive.
That's very encouraging. My question is, if we do these exercises frequently will the height increase be long term or only for a few hours afterward? Even short term would be a good thing for me though.
It's not only for the height for me, but it was an indicator. What these stretches do for me is strengthen my back.

I enjoyed that very much, please bring her back on again!
We plan on it !!!

Thank you to Sara for giving hope and practical and encouraging help.
Please come back for another podcast Sara! Thank you Bob and Brad!
Thank you!--for having Ms. Meeks on twice! She has a lot of wisdom and experience and I appreciate hearing from her.

She's incredible! I am learning SO MUCH from these video sessions. Thank you, Bob and Brad, for bringing us this extremely important content.
This is amazing. I have 5 fractures I am going to do her alignment for sure and get checked next month at the doctor and see if I gained my 3 inches back.
Sara Meeks offers so much good information. Thank you for bringing her to us!
I just got diagnosed last week. Sara is an earth angel. She gave me hope.
I have too…you look very young…how old were you at the time?
She is so awesome. Nose breathing is so good for you.
Thanks again. I look forward to trying some of these. I especial need healing in my sinuses through the breathing exercises.
It's amazing to me that I can feel my hips move while diaphragmatic breathing while standing! I would have never guessed that!
Thank you for having Sara. I just found out I have osteoporosis. I am looking forward to learning from this amazing woman!
Wow. This woman is amazing. I would love to get consultation. I was diagnosed with spinal stenosis and was told by the surgeon that he could shave down the bump on my spine that would relieve the pain on my nerve and wonder if i should do it or not.
Thank you so very much for this presentation. Sara is such a lovely lady, so enthusiastic and authentic. A real sweetie. Plus she knows so much!! Very helpful, very encouraging and very entertaining. Bob, you are a breath of fresh air, just a really good bloke. Thanks again.
As she says here (55:20) but make sure you (or your nurse or medical assistant) measures your height while your in your stocking feet (so that your shoes are off) so you get sn accurate, precise height measurement.

She is an awesome speaker! We can always have her more food for thought! 👍
Thank you Sarah!
So much great information. Thank you.
OMG, you have made my day! This is just what I’m looking for.
Thank you, You’re a Blessing also looking forward to see more of your lessons. Hopefully also good for.. Osteopenia

Is there a summary of the key points and takeaways?
So now when the young people ask me, "Where is the Passion?". I'll point them to this video. This woman has felt the passion of the christ. Sheesh!
SHE IS AN AMAZING GENEROUS HONEST LADY.SHE GAVE ME SO MUCH INFORMATIONS,BLEW MY MIND.PLEASE DO MORE PODCAST ,YOU ARE ASTAR.THANK YOU ,VERY GRATEFUL,MAY GOD BLESS YOU.GET HER BACK WITH YOU ALL TIME.PLEASE
Thank you both! This is very helpful!!
I loved this the first time and now ! I’ve had a C3. To T3 fusion Jan of 21 and a
L3,4,5 to S1 6 weeks ago and I’m looking forward to PT and exercise.
Regarding the mouth breathing: two years ago I started using the Somnifix mouth tapes at night.

That was wonderful! So informative!
Does this women or anyone have a list of exercises that are the best for osteoporosis? And all the ones we shouldn't be doing.
Have you dealt with osteoporosis caused by hyperparathoidism. I also deal with years of loading my spine lifting patients as a Paramedic. I did and still do weight bearing exercises throughout and even before my career. I'm fused from L3 to S1. My neck isn't in much better shape.
Excellent!!! Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Thanks. I learned a lot.
Thank you. I was wondering if you have a pdf that you can link of an outline of the exercises, in order of sequence that you all are suggesting . I think it would be nice to have an outline in print, so I could coordinate your exercises to my music in the privacy of my home.
This is very interesting i had fallen down and i have a very hard time seeing a doctor in my country and i had to stop working for pain

Amazing information. She's remarkable. Is her book accessible to the lay person? I have developed scoliosis in my 70s. No one has given me any hope of halting the progression. I am determined to live my best life. Thank you for presenting such helpful pod asts and exercise programs. You rock!
Good morning, Thanks so much for this great information. One thing I am curious about is what role nutrition plays in recovering from or living with Osteoporosis. My dr immediately advised taking Vitamin D and calcium supplements. After doing some online research, it appeared to me that getting calcium from food would be much superior. Do you have any comments on the role nutrition plays in osteoporosis?
fantastic information! thank you.
Thank you so much, all three of you, for this impressive, easy to follow series. I have MS and get so frustrated trying to find things I can do easily from home, to support/improve, my range of movement. I so appreciate finding all of you! Wendy from rural 🇨🇦☺️
I love this Lady!🥰
Thank you! Look forward to getting her handouts.
Thank you! I learned a lot with this video.
