Osteoperosis and Spinal Flexion with Dr Libby Hinsley

Listen Later

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.
