Me too, at 50 😳 My Dr has me on once a week Fosamax but no other medications/recommendations and then get another bone scan in a year. So I’m curious to know what your Dr’s plan for you has been?
Just subscribed, waiting for a diagnosis, broke my wrist almost 5 month's ago, surgery took twice as long due to soft bones, so am having to look into exercises to improve my bones. Thank you for these videos.
Thanks for another great video. I will add this to my daily exercise routine. I did some of these in therapy after my meniscus & lateral release surgery. We love you. Thanks for sharing
I just started watching this video. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis. My questions: How many times a week do I do these exercises.? Do I have to do all exercises in a day? Thank you so much.
me too. i had osteoporosis and im only 23 that time when i recognize it.. its so very painful.. i cant breath it well.. i cant stand or even sit.. my first attacked was so painful.. i thought i die that time.. 😭
Thanks Dr. Jo! Can we just combine your lower back, neck and osteoporosis exercises (I mean videos) ; as my mother is having collapsed L4 and osteoporosis.
You're welcome! Unfortunately, I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate her. Everyone is different. If there is any way she can see a physical therapist in person, they should be able to help her figure out a specific program for her and help answer yours and her questions.
Hi Dr Jo, love your exercises. Will you please explain the best way to bend when picking up something on the ground. I have scoliosis as well as osteoporosis. Thanks Diana
Hi is pelvic tilt safe to do for people with osteoporosis in the spine why I ask is because people with osteoporosis is not supposed to do flexion in the spine but when we're doing the pelvic tilt exercise that is some kind of flexion in the spine..
HI doctor, i have scheduled for a knee replacement surgery in Oct. 4th and i have osteoporosis, Doctor says Ok, please do me some advise.10 years i don't bend my right knee while walking (bone on bone). I'm 65 and still working
Hi thanks for such telling such simple yet effective excersizes.Could they done during pregnancy? It's not yet proved that I have osteoporosis but after my second baby i had fractures twice with slight jerks.so I suspected osteoporosis.
My GP wants me to have Prolia shots twice a year for my osteoporosis. I've been reading up about this and there are side effects that have put me off taking it. Have you any thoughts on Prolia?
I had an Reclast infusion last December. For the first time in 3.5 years, I received good news ie, my bones improved 30%. My Rheumatologist was pleased & so I am getting another Reclast infusion next month. He had said last year that if the Reclast didn't work, Prolia shots were the next step. I already broke mytibia in my right leg, had surgery & was in rehab for a month in 2017. I wish you good luck with whatever you choose to do. However, I suggest going to a Rheumagologist for osteoporosis, not a GP.
It depends on what stage you are in and how your body reacts to treatment, but in general, therapeutic exercises can be done 1-3 times a day, every day.
I recently had a bone density scan and my forearm bones are borderline osteoporosis. What exercises do you suggest for that part of the body? I already do Pilates, resistance band training and belly dancing.
Unfortunately, I don’t know since I can’t evaluate you since it really depends on how severe it is. If you can, you should go see a physical therapist for an evaluation.
Recently I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and I was shocked at first but I am used to it. I am trying to lose some of the belly fat I had and changing my eating. Among the precautions one has to make in order to stop wearing of the bone is keeping the body alkaline. This is what I discover first. My body used to be acidic most of the time regardless of what I eat. So keeping body alkaline is very important and then one must lose weight. Eating nutrients is important but if any food is making your body acidic then avoid such food for certain periods. It could be nuts, juice or any other food reduce reduce their quantity. Whenever you feel acidic, drink lots of water instead of medicine. Try to learn about calories obtained from certain food and also vitamins and nutrients. Your body and my body are not same so one has to do research by oneself to discover which food is causing one's body to be acidic is patients' job. One can advice one to eat certain foods but it is the patient who has to discover which food suits him/her.
AskDoctorJo After the computer scan I was diagnosed osteoporosis and scoliosis in my chest area bones, as for the back pain the doctor said maybe I sprained my muscle as I have been always doing exercising like jumping rope, squats... He gave me the pill to fix the sprained muscle but it is the same when I am doing exercising, maybe I have to change a doctor. Anyway thank you for response.
AskDoctorJo osteoporosis. It happened to me as the side effect of my asthma medication. A hormonal inhaler called "Seretide". I used it for a year and recently found out that it caused me this problem. Now I have bunion on my feet, my legs aren't straight anymore as they used to be. And my posture is bad. And I am young. It scares me. I worry about the future. Cuz I really wanna become a mother in the future. But my doctor says that pregnancy will have its risks.
You can definitely prevent it from getting worse with proper exercises. If you can, the best thing to do would be to go see a physical therapist to get the best exercises for you.
The best option is to go see a physical therapist for an evaluation, even if you just go for 1-2 visits for a home exercise program. Since everyone is at different levels, you might need modifications depending on many things, not just your T-score.
Unfortunately, I don't know that answer since I can't evaluate you. Everyone is different. If there is any way you can see a physical therapist in person, they should be able to help you figure out a specific program for you and help answer your questions.
I am only 49.i couldn't right hand move back and don't hair properly beny so i xray and result osteoporosis. Osteoporosis exercises i can show this videos or other exercise done by me. So dr you can help me 🙏. I wait for your ans.
Is this video all about to fix my posture to straight body because i have osteoporosis i am 15 yrs old and i am a hunch back teen year old boy answer my question pls :)
I have osteoporosis in my spine I am 66 going to have a bone infusion Reclast on Friday.Why did Doctor tell me not to bend forward, my husbands cousin is a Doctor she said ,by bending forward a piece of bone could break off at the spine and that would not be good.What do you think about the Reclast?
Normal bending forward should be okay, but it's the extreme movements either way that could cause a fracture. I don't know very much about Reclast, except there are usually some side effects with it. Good luck.
mam doctor said that I have flexibility in my bones and also low calcium level so now I am taking calcium syrup but when I walk pain appears shall I continue walking and exercise
mam i am 36 I have low density bones I have pain in my legs when I am walking I can't do any work pain appears in my hands my calcium level is also low how can I recover
Hi is pelvic tilt safe to do for people with osteoporosis in the spine why I ask is because people with osteoporosis is not supposed to do flexion in the spine but when we're doing the pelvic tilt exercise that is some kind of flexion in the spine..
Does shaking my body on a rebounder help? I’m on prednisone for RA and my bones are deteriorating fast. I’m suffering from chronic fatigue and I don’t have energy to go through a lot of exercise. But I can do 5 minutes of rebounder at a time. Please let me know. Thank you!

Dr Jo I was wondering if you can do these exercises daily especially if you're implementing weights? Thank you!
As long as you've been cleared by your doctor, that should be fine.
Can a person with knee problems do these exercises. ??
As long as they don’t increase the pain.
That means I should try & keep a watch isn't it Dr. 🙂
I would request you to plz upload video for osteoporosis exercises for those who are almost on the verge of knee damage like me. !!

Hi can you recommend any exercises for my neck and head movement and for my lower back which is stiff. I have osteoporosis. Thank you very much .
Thank you Dr. J.
Do you have excercises for the upper part and more specifically for the back?
I have several for osteoarthritis for the back, but not specifically for osteoporosis. You can find all my videos at: ruclips.net/user/askdoctorjo
Can I do these exercises every day or every other day?
Therapeutic exercises can be done every day.
Hi thanks for such telling such simple yet effective excersizes.Could they done during pregnancy? It's not yet proved that I have osteoporosis but after my second baby i had fractures twice with slight jerks.so I suspected osteoporosis.
I couldn't do the first one, had a broken hip and femur. This exercise hurts the most.
You can modify them by not going all the way down to the chair or hold off on them until you can work on other things to get stronger.
Hi Dr. Jo! How often do you think these can be done? every day? every other?
You can do them 1-2 times a day. Good luck.

doctor jo hello what are the target areas for these exercises ...i have osteoporosis in the hips ... thank you
You're welcome. It pretty much targets everything: back, hips, knees, ankles.
mam could we do these exercises as cool down exercises after workout 3 to 5 days a week
Yes, that should be fine.
Dr . I fracture 3 discs on my back 4 months ago I don't know when can I start doing ejercicio.
it's a very complicated question,
I'd get advice from someone who can see an x-ray of your spine and talk to you directly 👍
can I recover by doing these exercises
Unfortunately, I don't know since I can't evaluate you.
Hi Dr jo my wife has osteoporosis she found out from her doctor what can she do to help her self thanks
I’m suffering with osteoporosis and l1 compression fracture…. Want to do some core strengthening exercises can you help
I recently had a bone density scan and my forearm bones are borderline osteoporosis. What exercises do you suggest for that part of the body? I already do Pilates, resistance band training and belly dancing.
Those all sound good. Yoga movements that have you on your hands and knees (quadruped), might also help too.
What resistance band should I buy for initial excercise please?
The lightest one of any brand. Different brands have different colors for the amount of resistance. So it depends on what you buy.
I want to ask you about my neck always is tense and painful I was diagnose with osteoporosis what exercises to perform? Thaks
Unfortunately, I don’t know since I can’t evaluate you since it really depends on how severe it is. If you can, you should go see a physical therapist for an evaluation.
Hello doc, my mom's bones are weak and doctor has asked her not to exercise. It's very confusing. Should she?

Yes, in general, they should help.
These exercises work for hip pain?
They can.
Thank you
After exercise I always pain my back when I stop exercising it goes away. Why it should be like that?
Unfortunately, I really don't know without getting to evaluate you. It could be a number of reasons. Have you talked with your doctor about it?

Hey... Cn u suggest any exercise for AVN patient .. I m having level 3.. Plz suggest
Do you have access to a pool? Aquatic therapy (not swimming, but exercising in a pool) is great for AVN because of the low impact.
@@AskDoctorJo thank u 😊 bt I don't have any excess of pool.😢.ny other therapy Plz...
Unfortunately, I don't have a specific video for that. The above video might help though.
Imagine the "Squat" as hovering over a dirty toilet. I think most women will understand the concept, That will get you into correct form!
Definitely!
Does osteoporosis heal? I am 21. Can I get it cured?
Osteoporosis or osteoarthritis? They are different, and usually osteoporosis doesn't happen until much later in life.

AskDoctorJo but can my bones go back to their normal form?
Unfortunately, I don't know without getting to evaluate you.
Do you have any flexibility exercises for osteoporosis?
It depends on how severe your osteoporosis is.
Good answer so I guess I will ask my doctor. Thanks, all I know is I have it.
You're welcome. It definitely makes a difference. Good luck.
@@AskDoctorJo I have a very severe case. T-score -5.7 and I'd also like an answer to the flexibility question. Thanls
The best option is to go see a physical therapist for an evaluation, even if you just go for 1-2 visits for a home exercise program. Since everyone is at different levels, you might need modifications depending on many things, not just your T-score.
Is it alright to use ankle weights post 3 month tibia fx . No surgery necessary, minimally displaced fracture-also diagnosed with Osteoporosis:(

You will need to ask your doctor or physical therapist.
I noticed you don’t have shoes on, should i do these without sneakers?
You can do them with either. Usually with shoes it's a little easier because it's more stable, and without shoes is often a little more challenging.
Im having severe back pain and no strength my back. What should i do
The best thing would be to go see your doctor.
mam i am 36 I have low density bones I have pain in my legs when I am walking I can't do any work pain appears in my hands my calcium level is also low how can I recover
If you go see a physical therapist in person, that is the best way to recover.
