That video is part of a different series, however, since it is focussed on posture and that is the theme of this post, we felt it would a good addition.

I received this as the “day 2” video in my email. So did I miss a bunch of episodes in between? Cause it seems to me the exercises should proceed in a sequence? I’m a little confused.

Hi Catherine. You should consult with a Physiotherapist, specifically one who treats vertigo issues. Thanks.

I have osteoporosis of the spine, diagnosed through Dexa 5 years ago. No meds (yet). My problem with your kyphosis exercises seems daft – but I get sick and dizzy lying flat on my back. I discovered this at pilates classes about 16 years ago. I now have hearing loss – not sure if it’s connected. Could I try these exercises with a pillow under my head, maybe in bed? Or are there upright alternatives? Thank you. Loved the first (heel drop) exercise.

Progress gradually. The challenge is locking and unlocking the table without going into flexion.

Hi Charlie, Sorry for the delay in responding. Hanging from a secure bar at the top of a door frame is not harmful except possibly to your shoulders. If this is part of a routine that you like to do the “traction” of your spine which is created when you hang is actually a healthy way to unweight your spine. However, in doing so you should keep your shoulders “actively engaged in the process”. Actively engaging your shoulders would be equivalent to the feeling you have when you just start a pull-up. There is little to no perceived motion except within the shoulder joint itself. I hope this is helpful to you.
Keep strong and stay safe.
Margaret

Hi Taraneh. It is in your best interest to consult with a Physician or Physical Therapist who can address your questions. You situation is too specific for us to address in a comments section. Thank you and stay safe.
