Reseña del editor

The heart of this book is the Meeks Method, a comprehensive movement and exercise program for the prevention and management of osteoporosis and the musculoskeletal changes commonly associated with the aging process. The program includes instruction in body mechanics during activities of daily living as well as exercises for breathing, postural correction, strengthening, flexibility, balance, and weight-bearing activities such as walking. The Meeks Method exercises can improve body alignment, restore some body height, and reduce the risk of falls and fracture. They can relieve neck and back pain in persons with such conditions as herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, spondylolisthesis, spinal stenosis, and scoliosis.
