Is there a way to reverse compression of the spine? I have lost almost 2 inches from my height.?
The nurse says that as we age, our spine gets more and more compressed and that causes us to get shorter. She says that this is perfectly normal. While it may be perfectly normal, Is there nothing we can do to reverse this condition? Is Yoga or Pilates the anwer, by stretching the spine? I don’t want to just sit around and do nothing as my spine slowly gets more and more compressed.
Why can’t I do the Pilates ‘Roll-up’?
I do Pilates through DVD at home. Any Pilates experts out there? The roll-up looks easy, yet I can’t even do the most modified version (laying on back, knees bent, arms above head, ‘peel’ spine up off the floor). Grrrr, it’s so frustrating. I’m a fairly flexible female (can do the splits), I’m fine with all the other movements. It’s just this roll-up I CANNOT do! Help please.

Is there a type of Yoga that simulates the effect of a chiropractic adjustment?
I’m curious if anyone knows if there is a certain kind of yoga that specifically helps individual with bad backs, and if this yoga, when practiced, has similiar effects to receiving an adjustment from a chiropractor? (complete with the cracking of the spine?)
Thanks.
