Frequently asked questions
Can this programme really help with osteoporosis in the thoracic spine?
This programme is designed specifically for women with osteopaenia and osteoporosis affecting the thoracic spine. While it is not intended to replace medical treatment, it offers gentle, supportive practices that can complement other interventions and help you move more comfortably and confidently in daily life.
Is the Buttafly Technique safe for low bone density?
The Buttafly Technique is gentle and non-invasive. It’s less strenuous than many daily movements, but as always, please consult your healthcare provider if you have concerns, and choose a 1:1 consultation if you’d like personalised guidance with Loulou James.
How does this differ from traditional osteoporosis exercise classes?
Many classes focus mainly on strengthening exercises. This programme blends gentle movement with nervous system support, posture education, and mind-body practices. The Buttafly Technique is unique in its focus on natural spinal alignment and relaxation, rather than pushing through pain or fatigue.
Will I need special equipment?
You’ll need a Standard Buttafly block for the core practices. Guidance on safe use is provided, and you’ll also receive support in adapting movements to your needs.
Sessions are recorded. Live attendance is strongly encouraged for the best results and group experience. If you miss a session, please watch the replay and complete the practice within 7 days so you stay in step with the group. To keep Q&A focused and supportive for everyone, please watch the replay before bringing questions to the next session.
While every journey is unique, following my 1:1 consultations many women report feeling more comfortable, more upright, and more confident in movement. This programme is designed to support those same outcomes in a structured, supportive group format.
