Question: Is the Floor M Exercise Appropriate for Clients with Osteoporosis and Clients with Disc Prolapse?
The student asks is the Floor M exercise is appropriate for clients with osteoporosis who also have a disc prolapse?
My Response
In the audio I answer this question. The Floor M exercise is certainly appropriate for clients with osteoporosis. It is one of the key exercises in the MelioGuide Exercise for Better Bones program and is covered in the Building Better Bones course. You can look at the Floor M in an earlier blog.
The exercise is also appropriate for clients with a posterior or postero-lateral disc herniation.
