Testimonials
After 13 years of dealing with
severe osteoporosis (diagnosed at age 36)
and many spinal fractures, I realized that medication and nutrition
were
only part of the answer in managing my osteoporosis. I have been working
with a Medical Exercise Specialist at Vital Steps for three years,
and with her expertise and motivation, I have built more muscle, had
a decrease in pain, improved my posture and balance to prevent future
falls. The result has been a verifiable increase in my bone density.
My quality of life has improved immensely. I am managing my osteoporosis
instead of it managing me.
Deborah D.
Knowing that osteoporosis runs
in my family, and having been diagnosed with osteopoenia, I consulted
Vital Steps before menopause to try to boost my bones. The fitness
experts taught me how to increase my upper body strength safely, improve
my balance and incorporate weight-bearing exercise like jogging into
my program. I have also made sure to take care of my calcium and vitamin
D needs. Now 53, I recently received the best news from my doctor:
my bones have stabilized, which means I will more than likely not
develop full-blown osteoporosis!
