Posture Information | Osteoporosis Exercise

So you have osteoporosis and you've determined that you're not going to take it a lying down. Let's get you going on one of the best osteoporosis exercise programs around... improving your posture!

Of course I love helping people determine first that their posture is able to be improved and then help them do something about it. If you've already developed a dowager hump, you may have some limitations about how much your spine can actually change but its certainly worth making the effort to keep things from getting worse.

In particular, I think osteoporosis exercise should be low to no impact on your spine. Weightlifting has been shown to enhance the strength of your bones and muscles and swimming is a great activity that makes your postural muscles better.

Still, one of the main questions I get is how to fix a posture problem without having to lay on the ground to do the exercise. The good news is that just about every muscle you need to improve your posture can be exercised while standing or sitting in a chair. No laying on the ground required!

Let's start with a very helpful and easy stretch. Find a door frame and put your hands on each side. Lean forward and give your chest a good stretch. Hold that stretch for at least a count of ten and then do it again. Stretching the usually overworked muscles in the front of your body is half of what you need to make a change in your posture.

Next, let's focus on strengthening a muscle that usually doesn't get the attention it needs. The rhomboids connect your shoulder blades to your spine. To exercise them, pretend you're trying to squeeze an orange between your shoulder blades. You'll notice I didn't say that you were trying to rapidly crush the orange. Just slowly bring your shoulder blades together and hold for a count of one. Do that about five times.

Just a slow and seemingly insignificant bad habits have wrecked your posture over time, making slow and steady improvements in your posture will make a big difference in how your posture changes and affects your osteoporosis.

"Everything You Need To Change Your Posture For Good."

"Got Great Results In Just 2 Weeks!"

Having great success using the lower back exercises from Dr. Cordova's Posture Confidence DVD, I didn't hesitate to try her exercises for the neck.

I wasn't disappointed! After 2 weeks, my neck and shoulders began to feel and look better. I also found the ebook very informative and easy to read. It's a good reference to have!

Thank you!

Pain Relief From Neck And Back Problems "With Little Effort"!

"Dr. Cordova, I have just read your book and find it to be very 'eye opening'.

My job typically has long hours and requires international air travel. Both require that I sit in the same position for long periods of time. Without even knowing what happened, I found that my shoulders were rounding, my neck would ache, my head would ache, and my back felt like it was “going out”. On the airplane, I struggle for comfort and work myself into remarkable positions.

After reading your book, I find that -- with very little effort -- I can perform your recommended exercises and relieve this pain. I thought that the pain resulting from these activities was something I had to live with. Your book has taught me that this is not true.

Thank you very much for revealing this wisdom. I feel better already."
