subject: Reduce Chronic Body Pain With A Yoga Pose [print this page]

Yoga as a potential solution to chronic body pains is now gradually

popularizing. Years ago, yoga has already been considered treatment

to several body problems. In 2005, the Annals of Internal Medicine

published a study that indicated frequent yoga practice is more

effective than traditional treatments for chronic lower back pain.

Pains in the shoulder, back, and neck are common to drivers who

frequently do such activity. This is because during driving,

pressure is put much on the spine, thus directly affecting the neck,

shoulders, and back.

The yoga postures build strength in the shoulders, open the chest,

and relax the upper shoulder and neck muscles. In yoga, a set

posture is suited for varying individual body pains. People with

lower back pain use the six-week program. If paying for yoga

instructor or enrolling in a yoga class can be a little bit off your

budget, here are some tips to guide you through simple yoga poses.

After putting a yoga mat on a flat area, lie on your stomach with

your head turned to the left and hands crossed over the lower back

with palms up. Learning proper inhaling follows. On an inhale, lift

your chest and head, then stretch the left hand out in front of you

with palm down. The upper arm should be alongside your ear. At the

same moment, lift your right leg about 6 inches off the floor while

turning your head toward the centre. On exhalation, lower your head

with your chest and leg. Then bring the outstretched left arm behind

you to rest ion your back. As you lower your head, turn it to the

right and return it to the mat. Repeat on the other side.

Preferably, the set is repeated six times to eliminate back pains.

On subsequent routines, bring your legs slightly higher.
