Hi Jo and Beverly, Yes, these exercises are designed with the osteoporotic client in mind. Protecting the spine must always be foremost, so avoiding endrange rotation and sidebending is recommended.

Such a great video! Would love to see more real life studio sessions on clients rather than teaching teachers. Such a helpful study tool. Always a pleasure watching you in action Sherri, thank you!
I've been using the cue "abdominals up and in, and throat up and in". Works like a charm with the right client. I'm not sure if those are the words you used but it's the same intention. Thank you!
Thanks very much for this Sherri. Love your style and approach. As others have commented, very encouraging to the client and systematic in terms of testing control and strength. Lots of food for thought.
