A member asked:
I have osteoporosis ( t-score 3.5). my physical therapist advices me to lift heavy weights (20 kg) while bending forward and on my trunk, am i at risk?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Osteoporosis: Exercise program for osteoporosis should be extension based and avoidance of weighted flexion exercises is advised. Flexion exercises put you at risk for compression fracture. Should emphasize neutral spine and extension based exercises.
