Rotate, don’t fold - Safe movement for osteoporosis

The Pilates Saw normally involves bending and twisting, which isn’t safe for anyone with osteoporosis, as it can place too much strain on the spine.

But you can still enjoy the benefits of the exercise by adapting it: sit tall, lengthen through the spine, and rotate gently side to side. This keeps the movement safe, while working on spinal mobility and posture.

💡 Practical tip: Rotation is something we all need in everyday life – whether it’s reaching into the back seat of the car, turning to look behind us, or reaching for something in the kitchen. By practising safe rotation in exercise, we train our body for these real-life movements while protecting our bones.

💜 Adaptations like this mean you don’t have to miss out, you just move smarter.
