The Compelling Why

of This Webinar

**********************

To get an introduction to the

safe and therapeutic

management of

Osteoporosis,

the Ticking Time Bomb*

of the world today. *WHO 2004

While waiting for webinar

to begin, get a chair, preferably one

without arms for

S I T - T O - S TA N D - T O - S I T

that, someday in this country and, indeed, around the world, any person, no matter their age, gender, lifestyle, ethnicity,

musculoskeletal condition or any other factor, can go into any environment where exercise and movement are being taught

and be given a program that is

Ideally, it will also be therapeutic. Although there is more awareness now than when I began

teaching in 1998, there is still a lot to be done. By taking this webinar, you will help me fulfill my dream.

As you learn more about movement that is

you can help me take the message of safety and therapeutic intent in movement and exercise into your own life and into

the lives of others. You, too, can become a dreamer!

I AM NOT HERE TO TEACH YOU

I am here to invite you to allow me to establish an environment to take you through a conscious experience of awareness and movement of your own body. You can then take that awareness into your personal life and practice and help those who come before you to develop that awareness of movement so necessary for more true and permanent healing.

On some level, most of what is included in this webinar (and in my seminars) you already know. I am hoping that this webinar will help you recognize and/or awaken that knowledge within you.

A focus on optimal alignment in whatever you are doing and wherever you are can result in greater mental clarity, better physical function and decreased discomfort, pain and anxiety.

And, of course, also promote more specific muscle contraction and weight-bearing forces on bone.

GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE AND SOMETIMES AT THE SAME TIME

This From Monty Roberts* “Horse Whisperer”

On the same day I thought of the ideas on the last slide.

"I appreciate people who are willing to reach out and learn. In my opinion, there is no such thing as teaching.

There is only learning. I believe it is my obligation to create an environment in which the student can learn, whether human or horse.”

• MUSCLE CONTRACTION

WEIGHT-BEARING FORCES

necessary for healthy bones

• Compression, Tensile (Lengthening) and

Shear (Sliding/Gliding) Forces

act on our bones and are necessary for

bone growth and bone health

Bones are

strongest in compression

next in tensile -- weakest in shear

• RANDOM HIGH VELOCITY FORCES BUILD

DENSER, STRONGER BONES*

?How often do you get those kinds of forces

on YOUR bones? Can it be done?

?How can you get these kinds of forces on

your patients’ bones?

OSTEOPOROSIS IS A

PEDIATRIC CONDITION

that manifests in

ADULTHOOD

• Also in childhood--babies are being born with osteoporosis

• Osteoporosis affects all populations—women, men, young adults, the elderly, patients in your clinics and classes, and anyone taking this webinar today

• It knows NO boundaries regarding age, gender, lifestyle, ethnicity or any other factor

• Some people are more at risk than others but no-one is totally immune

• Osteoporosis affects 60% of persons age 60+ (men and women)

• Total of 57 million age 60 + should be very concerned about their bone health

• Total # of people estimated to have low bone mass in the United States—48 million—which means that……………

Osteoporosis is more prevalent than coronary heart disease

(12.5 million), heart attack (1.1 million) & diabetes (17 million)

and more common than

breast, uterine and ovarian cancer combined

PEAK BONE GROWTH

•In Utero •Adolescence

WHEN DOES

PREVENTION

BEGIN ?

BEFORE BIRTH? Evidence that fracture risk might be

programmed during intrauterine life

Maternal smoking, diet (esp. Vit D deficiency)

and physical activity appear to modulate bone

mineral acquisition during intrauterine life

Low birth weight & poor childhood growth are directly

linked to later risk of hip fracture

Optimization of maternal nutrition and intrauterine

growth should also be included within preventive

strategies against osteoporotic fracture

with normal bone or osteopenia than in

those with osteoporosis Therefore, when prescribing exercise,

it is important to consider bone

health in all populations

KUMMELL’S DISEASE delayed post-traumatic osteonecrosis of the spine

• A rarely-reported clinical entity that likely occurs with higher

frequency than recognized

• Treatment decisions are similar to osteoporotic compression

fractures

• Relevant factors include patient comorbidities, level of

disability and pain, degrees of kyphotic deformity and

presence of neurological compromise

• Although early reports were centered on conservative

management, more recent reports favor surgical intervention

A narrowing of the spinal and/or foraminal canal

One of the most disabling pathologies in the elderly population

Occurs most frequently in lumbar spine but can occur in cervical area

Congenital or acquired

Commonly caused by disc dehydration and degenerative changes in the discs and facet joints which may lead to vertebral displacement and spondylolisthesis

Changes can cause neural compression which can present as varying degrees of back and leg pain, weakness and numbness, as well as gait deterioration.

Patients often find that adopting a flexed

spinal position relieves pain.

Because a flexed position relieves pain, flexion

exercises are prescribed.

However, if the patient also has osteoporosis,

we are faced with a dilemma

Spinal stenosis is often silent and……….

May also may occur with osteoporosis and

other back pathology

Because many spinal pathologies are silent

and may have conflicting exercise indications and contra-indications, we need to re-think the types of exercise we prescribe, especially, but not limited to, older populations

• Positioning in Pain-Free Alignment

• Re-Alignment Routine as Tolerated

• Advance to Prone Positioning with Support Under Pelvis (Hip Crease Area) as Needed

• Isometric Pelvic Press Exercise

• Advance Meeks Method Exercises as Possible minimizing Lumbar Extension using Pelvic Press for stabilization—stay with Isometric Muscle Contraction

• Check for Hip and Lower Extremity Tightness and Weakness and……………….

• Design a Program to Address these Findings

• Advance to Standing Postural Correction, Balance, Gait Training and ADL’s (functional movement) as possible

The US Scoliosis Research Society defines idiopathic scoliosis as a Cobb angle >100 which increases the displacement and curvature of the spine in the left and right sagittal planes

Patients with idiopathic scoliosis have a 3-dimensional deformation with lateral curvature and rotation of the vertebral body—may have flexion, side-bending and rotation forces all at the same time in different directions in different areas of the vertebral column during movement

There are different “kinds” of scoliosis including idiopathic and acquired/destructive (acquired later in life) secondary to spinal pathology such as degenerative disc disease, facet joint issues, repetitive use injuries, vertebral compression for which the spine compensates

• Non-habitual Movement – FIRST VISIT

• Exercises for Spinal Elongation and Strengthening of Back Extensors and Other Core Musculature—begin with Re-Alignment Routine

• Check for Hip and Lower Extremity Tightness and Weakness and……………….

• Design a Program to Address these Findings

(e.g., tightness of hip flexors and external rotators is common)

• ACTIVE Spinal Rotation in Prone (i.e., into extension)

• More Site-Specific Exercise if Therapist has

X-ray reports and pictures of the spine outlining

Cobb Angles, direction of rotation etc.

• Use of partial inversion if possible

It is the most common health problem that results in pain and disability among older adults

Up to 80% of older residents in long-term care

facilities experience substantial musculo-skeletal pain with about 1/3 of them being LBP

However, back pain cases in older adults are frequently underreported and inadequately treated

Potential Causes: Non-specific or mechanical low back pain Radiculopathy Osteoporotic compression fractures Degenerative spinal stenosis Tumors/Cancers Spinal Infection Visceral diseases Cauda Equina syndrome

STAGES OF GRIEF (modified from work of Elizabeth Kubler-Ross)

DENIAL

"No way - can't be!" “They’ve got my report mixed up with someone else’s”

ANGER

"Darn! I am so angry: I did everything right and I get

OSTEOPOROSIS anyway?!??!!!“

NEGOTIATING/BARGAINING

"So ... it's not so bad (osteopenia, borderline) .. and, if I elongate

A LOT, I can still do those forward bends, side bends and twists right?

Maybe just breathe and move more gently?“

DEPRESSION

"I am so down about this ... I have this condition for the rest of my life. I

just won't move at all cause I could break a bone“

ACCEPTANCE

"Ok, I have osteoporosis. Sucks. But I'm going to find a way to do yoga

and exercise because I love it ...

Just have to find a way to do it safely"

o Health care workers may benefit from an individual approach

o Face-to-Face delivery more effective o Take time to explain benefits of physical activity o Give clear & personalized advice o Message from providers should be more consistent o Educate older patients that it takes time to adapt to

new physical activity (I usually say “give it 6-8 wks”)

o Involve relatives, friends and important peers o Check regularly to see that older patients

understand what you are asking them to do

Baeert V et al. Motivators and barriers for physical activity in older adults with osteoporosis. J Ger Phys Ther. Vol 38. Number 3. July –Sept 2015. PP105-114.

o Personalize your approach – consider clinical condition of the patient

o LISTEN to your patient o Engage your patient as a partner in their therapy o Give your patient something they CAN do and which

will make a difference right away and they will be more likely TO do it

o Keep instructions simple & modified for each patient o Err on the side of caution o When in doubt, don’t

In the end—minimizing risk of injury is the “bottom line”
