Since osteoporosis results in a loss of bone mass that can cause painful fractures, yoga is a perfect therapy for osteoporosis because it strengthens bones without putting joints at risk. Over 1.5 million fractures occur each year as a result of osteoporosis, and 44 million Americans have low bone mass. While medications and surgical procedures can reduce pain, research consistently indicates that physical activity, particularly low-impact, bone-strengthening exercises like yoga, is the most effective treatment.
After a long researching the readers will have a clear understanding of osteoporosis and a range of exercises suitable for both beginners and experts in this extensive and beautifully illustrated guide. Both traditional yoga poses and physiologically sound modifications are offered with clear pictures and instructions. The writers accept all ages for this healing physical therapy.
