Osteoporosis: An Exercise Guide

Osteoporosis: An Exercise Guide

One of the most practical exercise guides written to help fight against osteoporosis and low bone mass. Ms. Bissinger utilizes her years of experience teaching and treat patients to create an easy to use, simple exercise guide. Beautifully illustrated, the exercises offer an effective program to improve strength, balance, and posture. Thanks to her years as a physicial therapist, she has provided an unique section illustrating safe ways to perform many activities one performs on a daily basis. Safe ways to perform simple acts such as sitting, lifting, and sneezing are demonstrated in her section on "activities of Daily Living".

As a physician, I recommend this book to all my patients who are concerned about osteoporosis. It is written by a physical therapist who has chosen specific exercises that can strengthen bones. The book is beautifully illustrated and very simple to follow. I advise any patient who wants to begin exercising to start with this book. I wish there were more books available that were as concise and helpful to one's overall health.
