    724. Wednesday Q&A: Morning Stretches, Toe Stress Fractures, & Fitting in Exercise

     

    Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

     

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about remedies morning low back pain and stiffness, advice on a stress fracture in a toe, and advice on balancing exercise amongst everything else in life.

     

    Your questions:

    • Do you have a favorite stretch or exercise to alleviate low back pain and stiffness in the morning?
    • I recently developed a stress fracture in my 4th metatarsal. I healed quickly, but was quite surprised when it happened, as I thought my feet were relatively strong. I’ve had my LYT practice for years, and I run, hike, strength train, and do lots of plyometric work. I suspect rucking on the treadmill in my minimalist shoes contributed to the fracture. What are your thoughts on footwear for these activities? 
    • Can you give me advice on how to balance exercise with all the other activities and responsibilities in life?

    • Are there any moves I should avoid or modify if I have osteoporosis?

    Welcome to Wednesday Q&A, where you ask questions and we answer them!

     

    In this Wednesday Q&A, we answer your questions about hip and low back pain during pregnancy, cervical spine arthritis, and misconceptions about exercise and movement practices.

     

    Your questions:

    • Any suggestions for hip and low back pain during pregnancy? I’m in my 4th month and the pain gets worse from sitting for too long but also from working out. I’m keeping my exercise routine light and easy but the pain flares up, specifically on one side. Yoga, stretching, and even walking doesn’t feel as good as pre-pregnancy because I lost my body and movement awareness. Thanks!
    • A long-term yogi & friend (mid-60s) has recently been diagnosed with arthritis in her cervical spine, C2-C5. She has a fair bit of pain & is careful what she does in our LYT classes. In your opinion is there anything that I can do to help her?
    • What are some common misconceptions about exercise and movement practices?
