Preventing Pilates Related Injuries

Thank you for this outspoken comment! I agree with everything you said and I wished it would be common knowledge that Pilates it way more than "choreographie" of pilates-based moves.

Thank you for your information. I am a Pilates Instructor taking on a new client with osteoporosis and was looking for some information to guide me.

Thank you! The study mentioned in the article was exactly what I was looking for.

Has there been documented research following patients with osteoporsis and osteopenia actually showing that these exercises are causing either 1) injury during the movements or 2) further bone breakdown faster than those that aren't doing exercise or 3) more fractures outside of class then those that don't do exercise?
Pilates, Exercise, and Osteoporosis (Part 1)

Yes, it was helpful as a beginning. But how does someone with osteoporosis of the spine strengthen the core stomach muscles? What parts of Pilates can be done?
Response from Lynda Lippin (449)

Thank you for your comment! There is not a lot to do in the traditional Pilates mat unless it is greatly modified (anything on stomach, on side, or in neutral spine with head down is fine). More on equipment since you can add standing, sitting, kneeling. The two best sources for Pilates exercises that are safe for osteoporosis are the books OsteoPilates and Standing Pilates. You can strengthen your core without forward flexion and rolling on your spine!
