Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Back pain? Try YogaChronic back pain - often due to poor posture, injuries, or muscle tension - can profoundly impact your quality of life. One way to help prevent further injury and lessen the symptoms of current back pain is through yoga: It engages your body, mind and spirit, which may lead to a feeling of self-reliance and control over your pain. It provides long-term preventive relief, through improved posture, breathing techniques, and stress reduction. It can make you more aware of your body - balance, posture and proper alignment will be a renewed focus in your life. It strengthens your abdominal and leg muscles and increases blood flow - all of which can be beneficial for the back. It can soothe your mind, which in turn can produce a relaxed, calm and meditative state that can lessen pain. Give it a try - use the Yoga Journal yoga class/instructor finder in the Body section of DrWeil.com. -- Diana Gonzalez Nothing wastes more energy than worrying - the longer a problem is carried, the heavier it gets. Don't take things too seriously - live a life of serenity, not a life of regrets. -Unknown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
