    I have severe osteoporosis. I go to the gym 5 times a week and walk for a hour and attend the senior exercise class once a week.. We do these exercises you showed today. I feel much better knowing that I am doing the exercises correctly. I love your videos. Thank you so much. I agree you two are the best. Thanks again.

    It’s too late for my mom. She was the poster child for osteoporosis. Caucasian, slight, 100 pounds, no dairy growing up (one of twelve, couldn’t afford it. black coffee.). Smoker, drinker. Terrible eating habits. She had many, many fractures. Her last one happened when she was washing her hair at the kitchen sink. She turned to grab a towel and broke her femur in two places. Just like that. They told her after this one, there would be no place left for them to pin or plate. That’s how thin her bones were. Unfortunately, she was in a wheelchair after that for 20 years. She also had rheumatoid arthritis.
    Please, you younger people, pay attention. Get your calcium and vitamin D. Eat well, walk and exercise. It’s not too late for you older folks as well. This was a great video.

My bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so never forget your daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more each day. If it can heal neck fractures I believe it can heal anything. Pray every day in Jesus' name and always be a faithful Tither. I've been healed through my Tithing many many times also.

    My friend with osteoprosis played pickle ball and feel and broke her hip. This required an emergency surgery, three steel pins and 6 months of a very difficult recovery. I also have osteoprosis and osteopenia in three places (back/neck/hips) and personally I would NEVER play pickle ball - too intense for my age and condition. Instead I do stretching, yoga, pilates, pool upper body exercises and strength training for strength, balance and flexibility (at my senior center with teachers that are trained to work with older people.) I eat a nutrient rich diet and I also take Bio-TE bio-identical hormones which are working to restructure my bone mass. I have already regained 6% in my bone mass. I wear Keene hiking shoes with excellent bottom grips and I am VERY careful on ice. I am age 70 and being highly preventative.

    I have been diagnosed ( in my late 30’s) with disc degenerative disease, osteoarthritis and neuropathy. In my late 30’s early 40’s I had 3 back surgeries, the last replacing 2 discs(l-4-l-5-l-5-s1)with a cage. Shortly after I was diagnosed with osteopenia and recently osteoporosis. I’m 60 this may and the pain of doing most anything, even sitting, is unbearable by the end of the day. I downloaded your videos on osteoporosis and wrote down the exercises. Hopefully there’s still hope for my back.

    Thanks so much for this! Just had Kyphoplasty after a hard fall on my bottom skating (miracle surgery!) Was a competitive figure skater for 10 years through childhood to mid teens when my knee was so trashed, dr said I had to quit. Scans revealed I had FIVE compression fractures (new) 2 of which were on top of multiple previous ones that were healed (L4 and L5 are unhappy.) I’m about 20 years younger than when your entire spine should be crumbling to pieces (like mine is…often called by former skaters as “skater back, neck and knees!”) Had a DEXA scan last year (for being high risk for osteoporosis) and all was good. Surgeon says, get another DEXA scan, so that’s scheduled! But, after doing a high impact sport through the majority of my development…I did all the stuff Bob and Brad said “don’t do this!!!” Always bent forward in the chair over the computer, or whatever I’m doing, standing slumped over on one hip, bending over all the way and picking up heavy stuff (I’m flexible, it just was normal for me) sleeping curled into a ball for decades (that makes me want to die now) and, so, I had compression fractures from T10 to S1, both healed and new….yikes!!!!! (2 herniated discs, spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease) Yay! So, yes, like my Mom having me walk with a book on my head for good posture, it is important…as is saying, hey, my lower back kinda always hurts, not pain pill hurt, maybe some Advil at work in the afternoon…maybe this would have been discovered sooner…but like many athletes, you’re trained to ignore the pain. Don’t ignore the pain! Pain is your body telling you something is wrong. Thankfully, I have amazing physicians and an amazing physical therapist, and I know now what I didn’t know before. This video is really important!! Thanks Bob and Brad!!!

    I drink all of the coffee I want, even caffeinated soft drinks. I started out with Fosamax but after 14 months it started causing me stomach pain even though I followed the instructions explicitly. So then I went to injecting Forteo every day for two years. Now I'm doing the Prolia injection every six months. I've been supplementing with Vitamin D, Calcium and Magnesium for many years. I live a very active lifestyle and have had no further fractures. I have however developed a painful problem with facet arthropathy. The longer I'm on my feet the more it hurts. There are numerous exercises that help this condition though. I had a very successful balloon kyphoplasty some years ago. My life is not ruined and I refuse to live in fear.

I already do some of your exercises you just mentioned and I didn’t know about posture being so important. Thanks.

    I so needed this! I'm going to tweak my healthy eating and work back into fasting for 16-18 hours a day, starting tomorrow. I need to start from scratch to rethink my exercises. I'm having difficulty coming back from a total hip replacement at 58. I go to physio 3 times a week but I like the idea of being able to sneak these exercises into my day so my brain doesn't realize we're exercising until after we're done. I loved to exercise before surgery (I'm 8 months post surgery) but having a hard time getting back into it. I realize that I have to be careful and listen to my body. Thanks for being part of my day one of my reset!

My bones, joints and whole body felt very much stronger too so never forget your daily bible reading out loud for a few minutes or more each day. If it can heal neck fractures I believe it can heal anything. Pray every day in Jesus' name and always be a faithful Tither, I've been healed through my Tithing many many times also.

    I’m a 47 year old male. I was diagnosed with an L-1 compression fracture from a fall from the standing position onto my lower back. My Westie got under my feet and to avoid stepping on her I fell. Worst pain I’ve ever experienced and also my first ambulance ride. My orthopedic doctor had me fitted with a TLSO brace also known as the clam shell. I asked about kyphoplasty surgery where cement is injected into the fracture. The doctor said I’m to young and hopefully it will heal on it’s own. I have psoriatic arthritis and also a vitamin D deficiency that I take a vitamin d prescription once a week. Luckily it pancaked and so far no bone fragments are in a position to damage my spinal cord. I already have a bad back and had a laminectomy of my L5 - S1 disc in 2012. Also going to get a dexa bone density scan to see if my bones are weak. Great advice I enjoy your demonstrations and knowledge of the anatomy.

Just a few technical issues here but can’t wait to get it.
