As a result, even a minor bump or accident can cause a fracture (broken bone). Such events might include falling out of a bed or chair, or tripping and falling while walking.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our bones are constantly being remodelled, meaning old bone is removed and new bone is formed. As we get older, we begin to lose more bone than we build which can result in a condition called osteoporosis. The tiny holes within the bones get bigger, and the solid outer layer becomes thinner which means our bones become less dense.\u00a0 The decrease in bone mineral density (BMD) and changes in bone quality make bones more fragile and more easily broken than bones of &#8216;normal&#8217; density.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The most common fracture sites are the spine, wrist and hips. In addition, fractures in the spine reduce the height of the vertebrae and can lead to a stooped or hunched posture which, over time, will reduce mobility, cause pain, create balance problems and increase the risk of falls.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Osteopenia is a condition when bone mineral density is lower than normal but not low enough to be classified as osteoporosis. Low bone density is known as osteopenia and is the range of bone density between normal bones and osteoporosis. It is, therefore, the precursor to osteoporosis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To counteract the effects of osteoporosis (and osteopenia), building up bone density is key. There are many factors and lifestyle changes that will assist in increasing bone density such as; medications, increasing vitamin D, change of diet,\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatesanytime.com\/workshop-view\/2377\/video\/Pilates-Boning-Up-on-Osteoporosis-by-Sherri-Betz\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">safe practices in daily activities<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">, and most importantly, regular exercise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatesanytime.com\/specialty-class\/5\/Pilates-For-Osteoporosis-Safe\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A specialized Pilates<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0program completed 2-3 times per week is highly beneficial and effective for anyone with osteoporosis or osteopenia.\u00a0People<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> often overlook Pilates as an exercise option for the management of osteoporosis, probably because they are only thinking of traditional mat-based Pilates. However, Pilates can also be performed on specialised equipment such as the Cadillac table and the reformer machine.\u00a0 Attending regular Pilates classes o<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">n equipment-based Pilates machines which incorporate weight-bearing and resistance exercises and impact activities will build muscle and improve bone mineral density. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Other benefits of specialized Pilates include correction of postural changes, reduced pain and improved mobility, balance and coordination. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As there are some Pilates exercises which are contraindicated, and therefore inappropriate, for people with osteoporosis, it is critical to ensure you train with a certified and experienced Pilates instructor who knows which exercises are best for you and which to avoid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To conclude, a specialized\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pilatesanytime.com\/program-view\/4\/Pilates-Program-Bone-Health\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pilates regime\u00a0<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">targets muscle and bone strength, directly aiding in the prevention of losing more bone mass and even reversing the effects of\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26406222\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">osteoporosis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">.
