    This course was very informative and useful in daily life activities.

    Understanding Spinal Anatomy and Physiology in Women:

    Unique Anatomical Features: The course delves into how women’s spinal structures, including bone density, muscular differences, and hormonal influences (like pregnancy and menopause), impact the development of neck and back pain.
    Common Spinal Issues: Conditions such as osteoporosis, scoliosis, and degenerative disc disease are discussed, with a focus on how these problems manifest differently in women compared to men.

    I enjoyed her passion. I've dealt with these issues since having my daughter. I also know a lot of friends and family that also have had the same back issues. Especially on my dad's side with majority being women. Some pain has been relieved from weight loss and better shoes. However, personally it is still hard to find a good balance. I also have a pre existing knee injury that I've had since 5 years old with only being diagnosed at 15. I look forward to hearing more about this.
