Thank you for sharing Patricia. You address the concerns of many in our age group in a very credible way. I will use this video. Lack of strength and bone density is epidemic in our demographic, and more to the point, within my circle of family and friends. - Thanks again!

I am exactly where Patricia is to the letter. I train at Annino Strength and Conditioning with Starting Strength coach Cody Annino and I too am feeling stronger and more in control of my osteoporosis. Thank you Patricia for sharing your experience- I find it very encouraging!

Patricia mentions that her doctor suggested "specific movements" that might increase the bone density of her spine and then, somewhat vaguely that she "met Shaun" of Hygieia. Was this a doctor with knowledge of Starting Strength and a medical referral to a coach, or a vague recommendation followed by tremendous good luck?

I ask because I shared some info about Dr. Sullivan's practice with an Osteoporosis MD, and while she seemed more intrigued than I had predicted she would be, she did not take her patient's meathead son's recommendation to its fullest extent and prescribe an LP to my mother.

I am curious to know if there is in fact an osteoporosis specialist out there who is directing people towards Starting Strength. If so, I'd love to know their name.

jkolt, the doctor who referred Patricia to me is a friend of mine. He's familiar with Starting Strength - we've given talks together and we've trained together on a few occasions.
