OK now, I am more confused than ever. First heard yesterday that women with Osteopenia which is literally the majority of postmenopausal women should avoid spinal twists as well as forward Flexion. Now this expert (Aligned & Well) suggests spinal twists for digestion Personally, I usually avoid spinal twists because they triggered lower back/hip problems for me, even though they are recommended for the lower back.
Guess it all comes down to listening to your own body and it something doesn't feel right, don't do it. Barb S who only has one lumbar vertebra in the osteopenia category while the other vertebrae are ok to make it all more confusing

A few weeks ago I had a bone density class with Saltonstall. All of the women in the group were in osteopenia range, or had osteoporosis. We did twists. Katy Bowman's blog (alignedandwell) is very interesting. You can subscribe to receive email notices of updates.

I hate that there's uncertainty among experts about what's good and harmful for us. Tuck, don't tuck. Bend, don't bend. Twist, don't twist. AND DON'T LIFT ANYTHING OVER 3 POUNDS, FOR PETE'S SAKE!
I go with the philosophy that muscles that get used stay strong and supple. So, if I spend my life avoiding a move, then that muscle will atrophy and become more inflexible, and eventually crippling. |
