Hi friend,
Fun fact: I’ve never broken a bone in my life—but I do get random bruises all the time.
Case in point: I recently slipped trying to step into a shower on vacation in South Carolina (graceful, I know) and ended up with a painful hematoma on my shin. Having never had a bump almost as big as my tibia before, my husband reassured me it would all be fine and “go away on its own.” We can thank his high school football days for this medical expertise.
Once home and reunited with my Reformer, I skipped kneeling positions—because ouch—and adapted certain moves by sitting cross-legged or using a Reformer box. It was still effective. It still felt good.
That’s the beauty of the Reformer—it offers options. You can get a full-body workout, even when you’re working around something.
This is exactly why I created a growing library of osteoporosis-friendly workouts. I wanted to offer fun, safe classes that support spinal health and help you move with confidence–whether you have osteoporosis or not.
If you’re curious about how Pilates supports bone health, I break it down in my latest blog post:
