Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 It is generally a good idea to refer people with specific medical issues to a specialized medical doctor or physical therapist for a consultation. There are probably doctors in their areas who are yoga practitioners themselves that can give them detailed modifications specific to their conditions. Although it can be helpful to receive advice from advanced practitioners, it is good to first consult with a qualified medical professional to be on the safe side. --- ashtanga yoga wrote: > > ashtanga yoga > > > ------ > > There are 2 messages in this issue. > > Topics in this digest: > > 1. hyper extended knees > Rock Chick <rokchik666 > 2.
