Hi all,

I've just had a 35 y/o lady in for an assessment. She was Dx in 2004 with osteoporosis, following 2 fractures of the r/5 metatarsal which have since resolved and are not causing any pain.
She has a very active job where she is on her feet for the majority of the day.
Her main concern is that there are particular problems at T7 in her vertebrae and she wanted to see if there was anything that I could do to help improve her posture using insoles.
My assessment showed very few abnormalities in her gait and posture with the exception of excessive amount of pronation occuring in mid stance around the mid foot for which I will be prescribing insoles.
I was considering sending this lady to a physio or to something like pilates classes to try to condition the core muscles to keep good upper body posture and it is suggested in literature (according to a few things I have found on the internet, although I am unable to find said literature) that exercise can improve bone mass density and reduce injury and # risk.
I just wanted to get a few other opinions before I do this.
Any help or guidance greatly received.
Kind Regards
Sam Randall
