Please follow the advice of your physician or physical therapist before initiating these exercises. People with OI are very different from each other. Every single person with OI (like people without OI) benefit from regular exercise and everyone can do it, if adapted to their own unique ability. There is no “cook book” that applies to everyone. Movements should be done in a slow and comfortable manner, without any jarring or pain. If you feel any pain, use common sense and stop the exercise. When starting to move more, keep in mind: “less is more” and find something you love to do!!!
