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.
