Osteoporosis Exercise Programs

MelioGuide is the online guide for safe and effective Osteoporosis exercise programs. The exercise programs at MelioGuide.com have been developed by me, Margaret Martin, a licensed Physical Therapist and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with 25 years of experience helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals.

The MelioGuide exercise programs were developed using evidence-based guidelines on the most effective and safest exercise programs and activities for people with, or at risk of, osteoporosis.

I developed MelioGuide and the exercise content to allow people from across Canada and the United States (and around the world) access to safe and effective exercise programs specifically targeted at treating and preventing Osteoprosis.

The MelioGuide exercise programs incorporate all of the major areas important to building stronger bones:
  • Postural Exercises
  • Strength Training
  • Balance Training
  • Cardiovascular Training
  • Flexibility Exercises
I believe that an exercise program for the prevention and management of osteoporosis cannot take a “one-size-fits-all” approach, must cover a wide range of exercise activities that address balance, strength and flexibility, and must be supported by evidence. The program must be designed to provide enough stress in the right areas of the skeletal structure to encourage bone strengthening as well as allow the client to develop the balance and strength required to reduce the chance of a fall. At the same time, there had to be away to easily allow the client to determine what program would be appropriate for them based on their medical history and profile, and their activity level.

Since launching MelioGuide in 2007, thousands of clients all over the world have successfully used the exercise programs, and health care professionals (including Physical Therapists, Physicians, Occupational Therapists, and Kinesiologists) across the United States and Canada have sent their clients to MelioGuide.com for an exercise program.

I encourage you to join the large group of people around the world who are using the MelioGuide Exercise Program for Better Bones program.
