Does Anyone Do Yoga For Osteoporosis? Just Read A Book By Dr. Loren Fishman About Yoga Being Very Beneficial.Actually Building Bones.
Hi Linda- I love yoga, and I was very strong when I was doing it regularly. Now, however, I am afraid to do it. I have-4.7 osteoporosis. My lower back and neck are particularly vulnerable. I have been told not to twist, bend over to touch my toes, and other things that many yoga poses require. If I could find an instructor who knew how to instruct people with osteoporosis, I would do it. Or if my doctor cleared me I would do it. It does build muscle. Keep us posted on what you discover! Thanks!
I have had osteroporsis for over 20 years now. I have a -3.9 Tscore. I have walked daily and done yoga for years. My understanding is it keeps you from falling by being more coordinated. Only meds can improve the bones.
Thanks for your advice
