Question about chondromalacia

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam!

 

One of my students has chronic problem with her wrist. After several

medical treatments and consultations her condition was diagnosed as

Chondromalacia. Has anyone here have any experience with this

condition? My specific problem is to determine how much pressure I can

allow her to put on her wrist, especially, I need to decide if she can

do such postures as triangle, front platform, back platform, cobra.

Maybe someone here would also have any healing or dietary suggestion

to treat such a condition. I have taught her how to make golden milk

but I hope there is something else that can be done.

 

Thank you,

Vichar Kar,

 

If it hurts her to do the poses, she can go down on to her elbows. For

triangle she can do dolphin pose. Instead of back platform pose she can

do elbow platform pose. For cobra you don't need to use the hands

much...you can use the back muscles so that there is no weight on the

hands.

 

Some students with wrist pain make fists with the hands for plank pose,

(front platform) and downward dog. (triangle.)

 

As time passes and her wrist heals, she should be able to use her hands

for support again.

Dear All

 

I am curious about this message since Chondromalacia - sometimes known as 'Runner's Knee' - is anterior knee pain caused by irritation of the cartilage under the knee cap. It has nothing to do with the wrists. Are you sure your student has not misunderstood, or misheard the diagnosis?

 

Wrist pain can be treated most effectively by rehabilitating the shoulder which is where the problem originates.
