Yes: 20's male questions if yoga is good for "osteoporosis". Yes, physical exercise is beneficial. Bone enters a growth & anti-osteoporosis phase when exposed to bio-mechanical forces, especially compressive forces arrayed along the long axises of leg bones & spine. Such a force is gravity, a force that can be magnified by gently bouncing on a trampoline, e.g., small floor models for inside home.
