yoga is effective in the treatment of chronic pain, including osteoarthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia.
It has been seen patients saw significant reductions in joint pain, muscle stiffness, and overall physical discomfort while greatly improving their flexibility, range of motion, and muscle strength.
Performed correctly, yoga's fluid movements allow swollen or otherwise painful joints to glide smoothly over one another, increasing mobility and strength without excess wear and tear. Yoga is a safe alternative to weight-bearing exercises that could worsen weak joints because it strengthens the muscles around them, which reduces tension and increases mobility. There are five favorite poses for relieving knee pain, back pain, and more (talk with your doctor before starting an exercise program and use props such as blocks for support as needed).
Yoga Pose: Supported Warrior Try it for: Knee pain
Stand tall and place hands against a wall at shoulder height. Step right foot forward so toes touch the wall and bend elbows as though you're trying to push the wall away. Step left foot about 1 to 3 feet behind you, slightly bending left knee toward floor. Hold for 10 to 15 breaths. Slowly straighten left leg while bending right knee, ensuring knee does not extend past ankle. Hold for 10 to 15 breaths before stepping left foot forward to meet right and switching leg positions. –
----Supported Utkatasana (Chair Pose) - This yogic posture is the inspiration for the physiotherapeutic exercise often called “wall squat.” When executed with classic yogic breathwork (pranayama), chair pose targets the quadriceps, hamstrings and adductors and can increase blood circulation to the legs and pelvic region. To perform supported utkatasana, stand with your back against the wall. Step out about one to two feet from the wall. Inhale, and as you exhale, slide your back down the wall until your knees bend close to 90 degrees. Hold this position for one to two breaths. Inhale and during the exhale, slowly slide back to a standing position. Repeat this pose three to five times as your legs become stronger.
----Supported Virabydrasana I (Warrior One) - Warrior one pose is characterized by leg and core strength. With the assist of a wall and upper body support, stretching in warrior can relieve knee pain and improve joint mobility. “Stand tall and place hands against a wall at shoulder height. Step right foot forward so toes touch the wall and bend elbows as though you're trying to push the wall away. Step left foot about 1 to 3 feet behind you, slightly bending left knee toward floor. Hold for 10 to 15 breaths. Slowly straighten left leg while bending right knee, ensuring knee does not extend past ankle. Hold for 10 to 15 breaths before stepping left foot forward to meet right and switching leg positions.”
----Sivananda Knee Bending (Janu Naman) - Stretching the knee using physical manipulation can take pressure off the joint and increase its mobility. The Sivananda yogic tradition uses a series of stretches specifically designed to protect joints and prevent arthritis. In janu naman, the hands guide the leg through circular motions to carefully stretch the knee. Sitting down with your legs extended, slowly bend the right knee into your chest, keeping the left leg extended and flexed. Clasp both hands together under the right thigh, close to the knee. Inhale and slowly extend the right leg upward until straight and lower it extended in front of the body, hovering a few inches above the floor. Exhale as you bend the knee and bring it back toward the chest. Repeat this circle with the breath five to 10 times then repeat the exercise with the other leg. This exercise is contraindicated in persons with hypertension and cardiovascular problems.
----Setu Bandasana (Bridge Pose) - Perhaps one of the best yoga postures for knee alignment and muscle strengthening is setu bandanasana. Bridge pose is performed while lying down in a supine position. Bend the knees and set the feet on the floor about hip distance apart, with the heels close to the gluts. Place a block between the inner edges of the feet lengthwise to keep the ankles, calves and knees in alignment during the pose. With the arms extended along the mat for support, inhale deeply. On the exhale, press the feet into the ground and slowly lift the tailbone and pelvis up while squeezing the gluts. With the tailbone tucked in to support the spine and feet squeezing the block so the knees remain aligned over the ankles, take one to three breaths. Exhale as you slowly lower the body down to the mat, beginning with the shoulders and ending with the tailbone.
-----Assisted Supta Padangusthasana (Reclining Big Toe Pose) -Reclining big toe pose is one of the most popular stretches used in physical therapy for knee injuries. It uses a strap to lengthen and stretch the entire leg while strengthening the knee. Because the pose reaches from hip to toe, it also relieves backaches and improves sciatic pain. Begin the position lying down in a supine position, with the legs engaged and the feet flexed. Place a strap around the arch of one foot with the arms extended holding both ends of the strap. Inhale and on the exhale, slowly draw the hands back toward the body as the leg rises, the strap tightens and the leg extends up toward the sky. Keep the feet flexed and legs engaged. Take three to five breaths here. On the exhale, slowly lower the leg to the floor while loosening the strap. Place the strap on the opposite leg and repeat the exercise. This pose is contraindicated in persons with high blood pressure or those experiencing headaches or digestive upset.encing a neck injury or have glaucoma.
