Yoga, tai chi and Pilates

Bring the questions that matter to you to your next appointment.

• Would yoga, tai chi or Pilates make sense for my kind of pain, and is one a better fit?
• Are there movements or poses I should avoid, given my spine and my other health conditions?
• Do I need any checks first, for example for bone density or eye pressure?
• Should I start with a physical therapist before joining a class?
• How do I find an instructor with experience teaching people with back or neck pain?
• How long should I give it, and how will we know if it is helping?
• What should I do if a class makes my pain worse?
