I generally agree with Russ, but it would be helpful to find out a little more info. For example my father (age 67) was born with SBO ... and you would never know it now, but he had a card he was required to carry when he was younger that listed all of his abnormalities ... ribs fused, vertebrae fused, other vertebrae incompletely formed, etc ... so if hers is just the incidental SBO where she has minimal malformations, it was just incidentally picked up on an x-ray, then she wouldn't really have any restrictions. If she is like my father and had physical therapy as a child and wore special braces and was restricted from contact sports, then you will need more specific info ... and in that case I would ask her to see an ortho to get any limitations.

PS: And welcome to the site!!
