Hi @mayblin, On Nov 7 in an email , Dr. Fishman wrote that doing Supta Padangusthasana I three times a day improved the lumbar spine of two participants:
SURPRISE!
Doing Supta Padangusthasana I three times a day has improved these two people's spines quite a bit more than what we usually see.
We had thought it would be best for the femur or hip: it is good for them, but its greatest benefit appears to be for the spine!
FYI,

I've always heard and read exercise helps a lot with bones. I'm surprised he/she said that. This states what my doctor was addressing with me.
Can you build new bone with exercise?
Because bone is living tissue, it changes over time in response to the forces placed upon it. When you exercise regularly, your bone adapts by building more bone and becoming denser. This improvement in bone requires good nutrition, including adequate calcium and Vitamin D.
