I have always enjoyed movement and sport, long before my TV career as an exercise teacher took off in the nineteen seventies and hailed the birth of the Green Goddess. Pride comes before a fall and in my fifties I fell over and broke my wrist. I gained first hand experience of just how inconvenient and painful broken bones can be. I was only to regain full use of my wrist, vital for my work with extensive physiotherpay. Fortunately I do not have osteoporosis (porous bones) but my experience and interest led me to accept the invitation to become President of Osteoporosis Dorset in 1992. This website has been developed to provide information about osteoporosis and outlines steps individuals can take to minmise the impact it has on their lives. |
