Should we modify spinal flexion for osteoporosis? Osteoporosis affects approximately 20% of women over the age of 50 and increases the risk of bone fractures. In this episode, Dr. Libby Hinsley and I continue our 3-episode miniseries highlighting common medical conditions.
Episode Highlights:
- What is osteoporosis, how to treat it, and how to prevent it.
- Why many people don’t get diagnosed with osteoporosis until after they fracture a bone.
- The three most common locations for osteoporosis, and how this might affect a yoga practice.
- Whether or not to modify yoga practices for higher-risk students who do not have an osteoporosis diagnosis.
- How osteoporosis is different from other common medical conditions that are likely to show up in your yoga classes.
