Sara M. Meeks, P.T., M.S., G.C.S., K.Y.T.

has been a licensed, practicing Physical Therapist since 1962, has specialized in the unique management implications of persons with low bone mass since 1984, and has developed an evidenced-based, easy, effective, comprehensive, site-specific, 12-part program for the conservative management of persons with low bone mass, scoliosis, postural problems and back pain. In addition, she has been a certified Kripalu Yoga Teacher (K.Y.T.) since 1984 and has modified Yoga for safety and therapeutic intent in movement for people with bone health concerns.

Her program, designed to prevent, arrest and/or reverse the Patterns of Postural Change:

• is based on optimal anatomical alignment, and
• emphasizes strengthening of the back extensor and other core muscles, and
• will take people "From Frail to Fit" if that's where they want to go.

The diagram at the left represents The Patterns of Postural Change©, Sara Meeks' original concept, based on observations and assessments in clinical practice, of what happens to the human body as, but not because, we age.

The Meeks Method is a program designed to prevent, arrest and/or reverse this highly avoidable postural process that appears to be related to aging but actually occurs as we age but not because we age.

The diagram below represents The Meeks Method 12-point program for a comprehensive approach to the management of low bone mass, back pain, and postural dysfunction.
