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.
Sara Meeks, a physical therapist for nearly 50 years, specializes in helping people with low bone mass. She travels nationally and internationally to train health and exercise professionals in the new Meeks Method, the original movement and exercise program based on body alignment and postural correction that she developed for the management of osteoporosis and with problems of aging.
