Are you making dangerous mistakes in your exercise routine? These errors can weaken your bones and increase fracture risk. 

In this episode, I have Dr. Claudia Tamas, the first clinician in the US to be a certified provider of the ONERO™ program and the Director of Women’s Health at Natural Medicine & Rehabilitation. Together, we dive into posture correction, spinal alignment, and the risks associated with improper form. We also asked Alice, one of the people in my ONERO™ program, about her experience. 

Whether lifting weights or improving your daily posture, these essential tips will help protect your bones and reduce the risk of injury. Listen now and learn how to improve your posture and enhance your osteoporosis exercise routine!
