ASK JUSTINE

QUESTION:
I have problems with my lower back and it was suggested by my doctor to do yoga. He also said remember “BLT” – Do not bend, lift or twist with a back like mine. My L4 and L5 are out of alignment which has created hip trouble from time to time. I just had a second shot in my spine on Wednesday and have gotten relief for the hip but not my back. What type of yoga would be good for me? I’m a 54 year old female. I sat in an office chair leaning forward for over 20 years then as a housecleaner for over 7 years.

ANSWER:
Yoga could be a great help to you and you need to know the contraindications for your condition so you don’t do harm. From your question it sounds as though in addition to having L-4 and L-5 out of alignment, you also have at least degenerative disc disease if not bulging or blown discs…

TESTIMONIALS

“Thanks for another special class. I realized today that even if I am feeling better on any given day I can’t do what I used to – regular yoga and all the poses that I miss. I am at the right place now thanks to you and all your wisdom and help. It was as if a light bulb went on and I saw my current situation clearly!”
