Exercise for Better Bones: The Complete Guide to Safe and Effective Exercises for Osteoporosis

I am a Physical Therapist who specializes in treating clients with osteoporosis, osteopenia or low bone density. For the past 30 years I have practiced Physical Therapy and helped thousands of clients with osteoporosis. I wanted a good book on osteoporosis exercise that I could share with my clients. After looking through everything that was available I realized that there was nothing that I felt confident I could recommend.  The exercise programs were either:

1. not evidence-based, or 
2. too easy for most people. 

Exercise for Better Bones is the most comprehensive and current exercise program for people with osteoporosis, osteopenia and low bone density. Written by Physical Therapist Margaret Martin, Exercise for Better Bones has been used by thousands of individuals around the world to improve their bone health and reduce their risk of a fall and fracture. Exercise for Better Bones is designed for any individual with osteoporosis and in need of a safe and effective osteoporosis exercise program. The book offers four program levels: Beginner, Active, Athletic and Elite.
