Osteoporosis: Reduce Stress, Release Tension, Improve Posture & Bone Health

Many factors can influence bone density: genetics, lack of loading, certain pharmaceuticals, nutrition. But did you know that elevated levels of stress are also a major contributor to poor bone density? Research indicates a strong link between psychological stress and an increased prevalence of osteoporosis. Breathing practices, stretching, and myofascial release techniques can help to reduce stress by promoting the relaxation response. Releasing tension in the neck, chest, and shoulders not only feels good, it can improve posture, and create a more favorable internal environment for bone health. As a convenient by-product, better posture also reduces the risk of compression fractures.

Join us at noon ET on Saturday October 19th for a FREE seminar to discover easy and enjoyable stress reduction tools to support your bone density! This free session is featured as part of the Bone Health & Osteoporosis Foundation’s World Osteoporosis Day campaign.

We’re proud to support their work and be included in this campaign! Join Kaari Coach Karin Weinstein (ERYT-500, CMMT, YACEP, CPT), to learn:
