How to modify (and make safe) four common twists you likely do at home.

[@carolstarks5349]

I'm guessing these tips would apply to sweeping the floor also.

[@margaretmartinpt]

@@carolstarks5349 Correct.

[@karenpearson2044]

Thank you for educating me regarding this common mistakes I have been making!

[@brendajones8503]

I have severe lower back issues: arthritis, stenosis, spndolisthesis, etc. Thses tips will help, especially with vacuuming. Thank you for sharing.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Best of luck!

[@goldfinch102]

What shoes ?I need thin soles because of neuropathy?Yours look thin?

[@MunimCompany]

NO ONE has ever addressed issues associated with these simple, everyday chores! You're a Godsend ❤❤❤❤

[@ChittarupaYoga]

She is brilliant, isn't she? It's great to have her advice here.

[@tiffanyb.7596]

Thank you for bringing this to our attention!! Very important!🥰

[@margaretmartinpt]

Our pleasure!

[@barbaramoor391]

You are the best! I’m sharing this with all my active 70s/80s friends. Never thought about these moves before. Thank you.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@ChittarupaYoga]

This is a great video to share with my older relatives and people I work with.

[@presence2551]

Since I have had osteoporosis for many years, I've been practicing a lot of the tips you shared in the past for avoiding twisting and flexing the back, but I don't remember learning these. I am very glad to have them to further support my efforts at keeping my back as healthy as possible. Thank you!

[@ChittarupaYoga]

It's great that she is addressing everyday activities that can hurt us if we don't pay attention to what we're doing.

[@Hannah-pc7hg]

These are so simple changes, but we never even think about it. Thank you. 🥰 I’ll be sharing this.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thanks for sharing!!

[@margaretfowler2451]

Absolutely excellent. I love your manner Margaret. May God richly bless you and keep you well ❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

Hi Margaret. Thank you for your kind comments.

[@eaulaosolidaritea363]

Wow Margaret, all these daily movements we don't think about. What a useful video. I have sent to my sister. Thank-you.

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you for sharing.

[@Nickpaintbrush]

Another great one, thanks Margaret!

[@margaretmartinpt]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Anna-jl3dy]

I'm quite excited about good body mechanics. Since I started strength training I feel much more deliberate in my movements and I'm happy to find I'm naturally tending towards some of the modifications you're suggesting here!

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thanks for sharing!

[@kiransharma7848]

Thank you, Magrete, for sharing these super great tips. ❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

You are so welcome!

[@elynnehering5749]

Thank you! Makes so much sense. Your videos have made me so aware of how regularly I have been twisting throughout daily activities.

[@roseother8306]

Margaret, can I dance? There are so many twists and turns in partner dancing, cha-cha, swing, hustle - I miss that active part of my once social life. The Dr said i can do any activity he can do - but he isnt 3 inches shorter from spinal compression fractures in his lower spine...please, what is available to me?

[@donnagriffey621]

THANK you so much needed to see this ❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you.

[@ChittarupaYoga]

I appreciate your attention to biomechanics and the options you give that are safer for us.

[@adina226]

Dear Margaret, this is very helpful. Thank you. The question I have then is do we need to avoid any twist of the spine? How then you can maintain the flexibility of the spine? I suppose also tennis would be completely forbidden? Many thanks

[@Syl-Vee]

Thank you so much for these videos. You are so right about habits. Something to check and re-check!

[@loristar1744]

Thank you! This is very helpful!

[@gongessence]

wonderful reminders; thank you for this important information

[@GailFeltman]

Now I know why my back hurts so much after vacuuming! Thanks! 😊

[@SarojeniRengam-bm7kw]

Thank you

[@noellekavanagh5441]

Brilliant tips! Thanks Margaret!

[@margaretmartinpt]

[@carmelmalone8262]

[@margaretmartinpt]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ketanshah2855]

Thank you Margaret very helpful

[@mzajac101]

Great suggestions, thank you! ❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

You're so welcome!

[@cesalt2408]

So good to know!

[@DorisYan-d8r]

So important to be mindful of any body moves, thank you for your great simple advice. I wonder how belly-dancers go with all their hip rotation swings 🤔? Interesting to know. Cheers 🦘🇦🇺

[@margaretmartinpt]

You're welcome

[@sylviafielding5437]

Thank you Margaret for a really helpful video. But there’s one daily movement that worries me every day - how do you safely put on a pair of socks? I have to bring my legs up to my stomach to put my sock on but surely that’s like doing a scrunchie isn’t it? I thought that was an exercise no-no. I have severe osteoporosis in the spine. Thank you for any advice re socks and tights. x

[@jayjones7246]

Appreciate you! Thx!

[@margaretmartinpt]

My pleasure!

[@lynnsherman]

Wonderful Information! May I ask what does one do when parking tho when I drive I have a tendency to twist to look back when I park … I guess I need to rely entirely on the mirror

[@sharonmitchel1377]

I have found that my legs are not strong enough to squat down or lunge down to pick things up off the floor or ground. My ankles are also stiff. I’m working on it. Do you have any suggestions?

[@MsSaka100]

What shoes are you wearing? I love the look of those! 😊

[@tangob7398]

Thank you for these useful tips. What about twisting exercises incorporated into pilates?

[@margaretmartinpt]

A twisting movement, whether during a daily activity or in a pilates class, has the same effect and should be avoided or modified.

[@ΝικηΝινιου]

❤

[@margaretmartinpt]

Thank you

[@nannalambert3980]

Hello I am 72 years of age and have a fracture t8 on my spine. Also have osteoporosis. I am active and would like to add a rebound in my routine. Is it safe?

[@margaretmartinpt]

There is little evidence that the rebounder (trampoline) is going to benefit your bones. melioguide.com/osteoporosis-exercise-equipment/rebounder-review-build-bone/

[@goldfinch102]

I was pulling bands to strengthen my back bands on wall?

[@PaulaLexi-k5w]

have osteoporosis and compression at T12. I am seeing a PT as i recently had lumbar and thoracic back spasms. The pt has asked that I do side bends and twists to get mobility back. My mid back is stiff. I am having second thoughts because of what i am reading (must keep back straight). Should i be doing these exercises? I mentioned this to him and he said that it was ok as it is a slight bend and we need some flexibility.

[@nikkid1010]

I’m commenting because you haven’t had a response to your important question yet. Margaret has some stretches to address side bends- you lay on your back and move your legs and arms along the floor so that you are shaped like a banana. I’m sure there are others, and I would recommend looking through her videos and books for more.

[@goldfinch102]

What about dishwasher

[@Lori-qk3rr]

So helpful! Thank you!
