Yoga for Osteoporosis: The Complete Guide (Completely Revised and Updated)
Description
Description
Forty-four million Americans suffer from low bone mass, and osteoporosis is responsible for more than 1.5 million fractures annually. Drugs and surgeries can alleviate pain, but study after study has shown that exercise is the best treatment, specifically low-impact, bone-strengthening exercises. Yoga strengthens bones without endangering joints: it stands to reason that yoga is the perfect therapy for osteoporosis. In this comprehensive and thoroughly illustrated guide, Loren Fishman, MD, an experienced clinician, helps readers understand osteoporosis and give a spectrum of exercises for beginners and experts.

Critical Reviews
A fabulous book . . . important and timely.--Patricia Walden, coauthor of The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health
Masterful and practical. The science behind osteoporosis is presented clearly. . . . The adaptation of yoga poses is ingenious: safe, thoroughly instructed, and documented with excellent photos.--Swami Ramananda, executive director, Integral Yoga Institute in San Francisco
The yoga regimen used in the research, thoroughly described in this excellent book, has proven to be very safe, even for those who already have suffered osteoporotic fractures. Highly recommended!--Timothy McCall, MD, author of Yoga as Medicine
