$❓Is it Safe for YOU to Forward Flex your spine❓ A famous quote attributed to Joseph Pilates is “You’re as young as your spine is flexible.” Everyone knows Pilates is great for the body, BUT… ⁉️what if you have a herniated disc ⁉️spinal fusion ❎ BOTH of these conditions are contraindications for forward flexion of the spine, which is a foundational movement in much of the Classical Pilates Repertoire‼️ ✅ BOTH men & women lose bone density as they age ✅ For post menopausal women, in particular, precipitous bone loss can lead to serious conditions such as ‼️osteopenia ‼️ osteoporosis ❎ Forward spinal flexion is also contraindicated for this population, as these movements can lead to stress fractures. ❓WHAT TO DO❓ ✅ If you still want to do Pilates, but you know you shouldn’t be rolling & forward flexing your spine… ✅ Special classes, such as the one I taught last weekend for the Pilates Platform (video clips above) are a great solution😀 ✅ We work out hard, but avoid those contraindicated movements‼️ ✅ Please take note of these types of classes, wether you’re a #pilatesteacher or #pilatesstudent ✅ If you’re a woman age 45+ be sure to get a baseline bone density screening, and follow ups every few years. 😁 Pilates IS great for the body, but PLEASE: #workoutsmarter Posted @withregram • @thepilatesplatform Thank you #jillianhesselpilates for your fantastic masterclass on the mat with spinal zero flexion!
