Yoga for back pain File3 of 4
Yoga to Relieve Back Pain Back pain is an on-going problem for the majority of adults In most industrialized countries. Low back injuries usually heal within weeks, but long term healing is often more difficult to achieve. Rehabilitative exercise is often the key to developing a strong healthy back. And, according to a recent study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, yoga may be more effective for the treatment of low back pain than traditional exercise. Why is Yoga an Effective Way to Treat Back Pain? 1) Yoga helps increase strength in very specific muscle groups and works to strengthen all major muscle groups that support the spine. 2) The stretching postures in yoga increase blood flow to the tissues that support the spine, improving the health of the intervertebral discs and muscles along the spine. 3) Yoga increases flexibility in your shoulders and hips, which decreases demands on your back, and yoga increases flexibility of the muscles in your back and along your spine, allowing your spine to rotate properly. 4) Yoga’s focus on breathing and connecting breath with movement improves body awareness, making you more conscious of movements that may contribute to back pain. 5) The “spine lengthening” poses in yoga promote good posture and proper alignment of the vertebrae. When the spine lengthens, it naturally moves towards correct alignment. Having proper posture ensures that you are not placing undue stress upon your back.NISARGA YOGA & HEALTH CLUB Obesity & Infertility Treatment Yoga Camp by Yoga Guru Dr. C.
