Hello Inspire members,

I’m Rebekah Rotstein, founder of Buff Bones®, and an official Inspire expert for the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation's Support community. Be sure to follow me on Inspire so you won't miss out on any Ask the Expert discussions!

Buff Bones® is an exercise method for bone and joint health with on-demand classes and trained instructors around the world. I’ve been a movement educator and certified Pilates instructor for the last 20 years, now in Denver and previously in New York City. I was a ballet dancer prior, followed by working in the Sports Medicine department of Smith College during my undergraduate years.

At 28 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis, which led me to advocate for others with low bone mass and provide them with innovative education and exercise programming. I combine my background working in settings of athletic training and rehabilitation with my experience in cadaver dissections and coursework in fascia research, somatic studies and visceral manipulation. I’ve presented at numerous conferences in the Pilates industry, at the International Osteoporosis Foundation Worldwide Conference, at the International Association for Dance Medicine and Science, and at the Smith College Leadership Conference. I was one of the original visiting teachers at Pilates Anytime, am a member of the Ambassador Leadership Council for the Bone Health and Osteoporosis Foundation and an ambassador for American Bone Health. I serve on the Bone Health Working Group for the Society for Women's Health Research, contributing to the 2021 recommendations published in the Journal for Women’s Health and worked as a partner of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Women’s Health.
