“Three years ago I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis in my spine and prescribed weekly Alendronic Acid medication , although my doctor emphasised that although the medication should prevent further bone loss, any real improvement in bone density would come from my diet and , crucially , weight bearing exercise . I was recovering from a broken ankle at the time plus had a few knee and back issues so started individual Pilates sessions with Lisa in the hope of sorting these things out more than anything . As my leg and core muscles strengthened and my various niggles went away I felt confident enough to up my exercise routine and started adding in cross -training sessions at the gym and , a few months ago added 3 mile runs once or twice a week which I hadn’t done for years . A couple of weeks ago my repeat DEXA scan showed a 4.5% increase in spinal bone density – my doctor was very pleasantly surprised and apparently I’m now in the normal range for a woman of my age (60)! I’m obviously thrilled and convinced that my sessions with Lisa and her wonderful team of instructors have been instrumental in tackling my Osteoporosis.”
