Brickell Core & Balance

Exercises that work the back, shoulders, legs, and hips are the most beneficial for people with osteoporosis.

Specialists say the most damaging type of injury one can incur is a fracture of the hip, and strengthening the hips should be a big goal.

However, people with osteoporosis should avoid Pilates exercises that involve bending forward or rolling on their backs, and should be very cautious about performing exercises that involve twisting the spine.

Core strength and stability are at the center of Pilates, which works the whole body to improve posture, balance, flexibility and strength. The core is comprised of the pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, diaphragm and multifidi along the spine, which, when properly engaged, work together to create the effect of a nice snug corset.

The core holds up your spine. On top is the weight of your head, shoulder girdle and upper body. Then, you need to have mobility in your legs. In Pilates, we bring the top and bottom together through the core. If your core is weak, your upper body is not supported, your spine starts to shrink and hunch, and that affects your gait. As we get older, keeping the right posture through proper core engagement makes all the difference in quality of life.
