Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine | Yoga for Bone Health - Part 2 @KaplanCenter | Uploaded September 2023 | Updated October 2024, 8 hours ago.
Dr. Lisa Lilienfield explains how yoga is one of the best ways to counteract age-related bone loss. The key to its benefits is that it uses both tensile (stretching) force and isometric, compressive (weight-bearing) force to stimulate the osteocytes (cells found in mature bone) to produce proteins and lay down new bone.
Yoga is something that anyone, of any age, can do anywhere; the benefits are many and risks few when done correctly. Make sure to watch Parts 1 and 2 to learn a few simple poses you can try at home!

"My goal is to help my patients get well by finding a balance in life — not just physically, but in mind, body and spirit. I look at each patient’s medical history, family history, medications, sleep problems, adrenal and other endocrine problems. We do a thorough workup and develop a treatment plan. Sometimes relatively simple changes can radically improve a patient’s health!”
Dr. Lilienfield’s approach to care comes from a Functional Medicine (FM) perspective, treating the “whole person,” not just her patient’s symptoms. Each new patient visit starts with a look back in time to find stressors or traumas that may be contributing to his or her health condition

Resolving chronic conditions requires a multidimensional approach. By incorporating the best elements of both conventional and alternative medicine, our goal is always to address not only a patient’s physical symptoms but also to treat the root causes of an individual’s pain and illness, including problems of the mind and spirit that may be contributing to the disease process.
