This online course, Perfect Posture, was excellent! Margaret’s video demonstrations of the exercises were very clear and easy to follow. The links to blogs on related topics were very informative and helpful.

I highly recommend Perfect Posture to anyone who is seriously interested in improving their posture, strengthening their muscles and bones, and living pain-free! 

Kathy Campbell

I LOVE your Perfect Posture course!! I try to do one lesson a day and practice it mindfully. I am a 73-year old woman who has had bad posture all her life. Your course came to me at just the right time of readiness.

You are a brilliant teacher, who truly loves her work, and cares for her clients. I deeply appreciate how you have broken the course into small, manageable segments. That allows me to feel eager to try a new one each day.

Margaret is a superstar in the world of exercise when thinking about osteoporosis and aging. Her deep interest and understanding of bone physiology, exercise kinesiology, and the work of diagnosing and treating osteoporosis is easily accessed on her web site. It is the go-to place that I have my patients Google "MelioGuide" to learn how to exercise to improve strength balance, and agility.

Janet Rubin MD, Endocrinologist

I am a family physician with a large number of older clients. Many have osteoporosis and need a reliable, safe, and effective exercise program. Unfortunately, I do not have the time to teach them proper exercises and movement. Instead, I send them to Margaret Martin's website, MelioGuide, where I know that they will find the exercise program that will help them with their bone health. Margaret is a Physical Therapist with many years of clinical experience and I know that my patients are well served by MelioGuide online products and services.

                              Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

                              What if I am unhappy with the course?

                              If the course doesn't live up to your expectations, I'll provide a full refund within 7 days from purchase. While there is no obligation on your part,  I would appreciate if you could  provide me with feedback for how I can improve the course. 

                              When does the course start and finish?

                              When you enrol, you get immediate access to the entire collection of videos and worksheets. It is a completely self-paced online course - you decide when you start and when you finish.

                              Is this a subscription service? Will I have to pay an ongoing fee?

                              There is no ongoing fee. Once you purchase the course, you can access it at anytime, and as often you like.

                              How long do I have to complete the course?

                              You can take as long as you want to complete the course.

                              Is this available in DVD?

                              No. We do not produce DVDs; only streaming video.

                              Can I look at individual course lectures multiple times?

                              You can look at the individual lessons as often as you want to.

                              Is the purchase price in U.S. dollars?

                              Yes. Why? Because most of our customers live in the United States.

                              Can I purchase it in my local currency?

                              No. The course purchase price is denominated in U.S. dollars only.

                              Is this course appropriate for someone with osteoporosis?

                              It absolutely is! I designed it for everyone but paid special attention to people concerned with the health of their bones.

                              Is the course appropriate for people with Vertebral Compression Fractures?

                              Yes, provided you get the approval from your physician to start an exercise program.

                              Is this course appropriate for all age groups?

                              I designed Perfect Posture for people of all ages. It is also appropriate for you regardless of how good your posture is. Perfect Posture is designed to help you improve your posture.

                              Is this course appropriate if I have scoliosis?

                              Perfect Posture is safe for you. Having said that, the exercises in the course were designed to correct hyperlordosis or hyperkyphosis, and not scoliosis. 

                              Scoliosis can present itself in many ways. If you have scoliosis, I recommend you find a Physical Therapist trained to specifically treat this condition.

                              My patients who have scoliosis have a very hard time feeling if an exercise is exaggerating their curve (making it worse) or reducing their curve (making it straighter). Having a Physical Therapist who can provide you with that feedback will help you know which exercises will be better for your particular circumstance.

                              Who can I contact if I still have questions?

                              If you still have questions after reading this page, feel free to reach out to Richard on our Contact page.
