Rolling isn’t safe with osteoporosis – but balance work is

Some exercises just aren’t suitable if you’re living with osteoporosis, Rolling Like a Ball is one of them. The rounded motion puts unnecessary strain on the spine. But that doesn’t mean you miss out.

Instead, try holding the starting position: sit tall, knees drawn in, hands to the shins or feet, and lift the feet just off the floor. Then hold and balance. It looks simple… but your core, posture and focus will know they’ve worked!

💡 Posture tip for osteoporosis: Strengthening the muscles that help you sit upright is one of the best ways to support your spine. Rounded or slouched posture puts extra pressure on weakened bones, while a tall spine reduces strain and keeps you steadier on your feet.

💜 So even without the rolling, this version is doing your body a lot of good.
