On average 50% of women and 25% of men, over 50 years, have osteopenia or osteoporosis. Staggeringly, because it is not routinely tested for, most people dont even know they have it until they experience a bone fracture – in fact 70% of sufferers go undiagnosed.
It is important that Pilates teachers and exercise professionals understand the facts about bone health. Understanding how exercise and diet can help to build and nourish bone strength, or harm and deplete bone mass is vital in keeping our clients strong, healthy and fracture free.

In this workshop Liz will be including and building on research and work done by NOF, NOS and Pilates industry specialists who work in this area such as Sheri Betz, Sara Meeks, Rebekah Rotstein and Teresa Marchok
