Reformer Workout ~ Pilates for Osteoporosis

[@CandiceOsborn-js7eu]

After several years in the Pilates studio, I had to quit because of a back injuty. I thought my Pilates days were done because so many of the movements irritate my back. This is one of the first times I can do a 30 min workout with no pain. Thank you! ❤ Please do more neutral spine activities. I felt safe but still challenged!

Thanks for sharing your story! Yes, I can definitely add more. I also recently added another one you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5PYamCletZomK8

I feel like this is the best reformer work out that’s quite friendly for back or neck pain

[@karenlucci2154]

I agree!

I have osteoporosis and hope to see more videos that can help my condition ❤

Could you do a reformer workout for osteopenia? In other words, something focused specifically on strengthening and weight-bearing. Osteopenia is not osteoporosis quite yet, so we don't have to worry about fractures. The aim is building bone back. Would love to know Pilates reformer exercises for this.

[@FunctionPilates]

I will definitely add this to the list and see what I can come up with :)

Enjoyed this reformer workout. It is my understanding that pigeon is unsafe for osteoporosis. So is there new information on this?

[@FunctionPilates]

There are different areas that can be targeted with osteoporosis, and depending on which area is at maximum risk such as: hips, spine or wrists. If it is recommended by your doctor then it would be wise to steer away from that particular stretch.

Still wondering how to look over the shoulder/ driving when not allowed rotation ?

[@intellectualfactsstories4418]

Nice 👍

[@shellaldhamland2030]

I would have thought sides over the box would be contraindicated for osteoporosis?

[@FunctionPilates]

If your doctor has recommended not to do lateral flexion then steer clear from it. Typically, it is flexion and rotation that you want to avoid.

I noticed you said 2 red/ 1 Green / 1 yellow spring. Which Springs would you use for some who is more of a Pilates beginner with Osteoporosis

[@FunctionPilates]

I would suggest 2 Reds and 1 Green spring for double leg footwork, and 2 Reds for any single leg footwork.
