Bone-loading to Combat Osteoporosis - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This is a guide to the preventative approach to the loss of bone-density, particularly in post-menopausal women of the 35-60 age group. Osteoporosis affects posture and resistance to fracture, causing back pain and increasing immobility. Careful, planned exercises may stimulate bone growth even in people already showing signs of osteoporosis, and this may be achieved without the complex, possibily risky, programmes of diet control and hormone replacement therapy currently advocated by some experts in menopausal therapy. This book combines a graded system of exercises with the basic facts about osteoporosis in a question-and-answer section.
