  • What do I do about Stenosis?

    What do I do about Stenosis?
    Feb 10 2026
    Spinal stenosis is a narrowing of the vertebral spaces the nerves travel through. Stenosis is a common concern for older adults and one that can be quite debilitating, leading to pain and weakness with walking, standing or sitting. Specific exercises from an experienced personal trainer or Pilates teacher can help clients to manage it to minimize pain and maximize functional movement. Join Brian and Nora for case studies and strategies for your clients or yourself.
