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.
