Can pilates and vibration plates strengthen bones after menopause?

This small study looked at whether combining Pilates exercises with whole-body vibration could improve bone density, muscle strength, balance, and quality of life in postmenopausal women. Ten women aged 50-71 did the program for 26 weeks, three times a week. The results were compared to their own earlier data. While the approach may help manage bone health, it is not a cure for osteoporosis or menopause-related changes.
