In this 2nd video on The Meeks Method® for the Management of Osteoporosis, Sara Meeks presents the primary anatomical areas to be considered in the management of this condition. Although osteoporosis can affect any and all of the bones of the body, there are some that are more involved than others and which can cause more serious effects. She uses skeletal models as a backdrop as she talks about the primary areas of concern, silent fractures, treatment dilemmas where there are no muscle attachments, the importance of the back extensors, the first exercise to take the compression forces off the vertebrae and a standing exercise called The Fontanelle Feather that you can do most anywhere at anytime.

Sara Meeks PT, MS, GCS, KYT, specializes in the management of patients with low bone mass (osteopenia) and skeletal fragility (osteoporosis) since 1984, Sara Meeks developed an evidence-based 12-part program designed to prevent, arrest or reverse the Patterns of Postural Change. Now with over 50 years of experience in physical therapy, Sara holds regular seminars to teach her guidelines for physical therapy management, exercise classes, yoga, Pilates, and other fitness programs, qualifying them as S.A.F.E. (Skeletally Appropriate For Everyone).
