The good news is that there is a lot that you can do to fight osteoporosis, and improve bone density. And much has to do with exercise. But not just any exercise.

This past weekend, Sherri Betz, PT, GCS, PMA-CPT, a bone health specialist with Therapilates, shared her experiences and skills with our Pilates Instructors and Physical therapists. The program, Pilates for Osteoporosis   provided great instruction and new tools for our instructors to use for their clients with osteoporosis/osteopenia.

We are grateful for her shared knowledge, and look forward to helping more clients to better health, through exercise.

If you or someone you know has osteopenia or osteoporosis come on by to learn how you might benefit from specific training to build bone. It’s never to early or late to build bone. For more information call or email us at Baudry Therapy Center.
