Book Description

A guide to managing lower back pain through gentle yoga exercises—perfect for beginners and anyone with conditions like fibromyalgia and arthritis The sacrum, or lower back, is an incredibly powerful part of the human anatomy. It’s what enables you to stand upright and tall, it unites your upper and lower body, it roots you to the earth—and it is one of the most common areas where people experience chronic pain and discomfort. Yoga practice can have a transformative effect on lower back problems: it allows the body to gain the range of movement and flexibility that short-circuits the mind’s perception of limitation and pain. Yoga for a Healthy Lower Back will help you understand lower back pain and heal it through gentle exercises that can be done even by those with no previous yoga experience. Liz Owen describes the anatomy of the sacrum and the region around it, including the hips and lumbar spine, and illuminates both the Western and Eastern approaches to understanding back pain. She then provides simple, easy-to-learn sequences of yoga poses for general sacrum health and then for specific issues or conditions such as pregnancy, fibromyalgia, and arthritis, among others.

Book Description

21 Yoga Exercises for Lower Back Pain If you find yourself sitting or standing for long periods of time, there's a good possibility that you've experienced low back pain at one point or another. If the pain is excruciating, you should always check with your doctor to rule out the possibility of deeper conditions, such as a herniated or bulging disc. Multiple studies have proven that yoga trumped usual care in a 2011 study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine. When researchers followed 300 people with low back pain for more than a year, they found that the half who were randomly assigned to do yoga reported better back function (although similar levels of pain) throughout the course of the study. A 2017 study from the University of Maryland School of Medicine found that a regular yoga practice was linked to pain relief and improved function and might be worth considering as a form of treatment for people suffering from chronic nonspecific low back pain. Instead of popping pain pills and opting for invasive surgery, practicing yoga is a cost-effective alternative. Not only is yoga a more comprehensive way to stretch and strengthen the muscles and fascia of the entire body, but it engages all the fascial systems that help to hold everything together, providing stability to the lumbar spine, sacrum, and pelvis. Stretch your lower back pain away with 21 Yoga Exercises for Lower Back Pain. Practicing these specific 21 yoga poses can help lengthen your spine, stretch and strengthen your muscles, and return your back to its proper alignment.

"Yoga provides the classification of exercises according to their action and sequence in influencing a body. How to make it clear and not get lost in numerous activities and poses and select for yourself the most needed and useful ones?" Motor system diseases, in particular, spine diseases, belong to civilization illnesses because the sedentary lifestyle, work, and 'convenience of civilization' in general, the support apparatus consisting of ligaments and muscles, gets weakened. Many people, even young, suffer not only from spinal pain but also from a headache, migraine, low or high blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, allergies, peptic ulcer, insomnia, nervous disorder, inability to concentrate, etc. How yoga can help you? Yoga is a complex system of psycho-physical exercises, which, if performed correctly and for an extended period and repeated systematically, can restore health, provide good physical shape and harmony of all human power. Individual exercises provided in this book are aimed at strengthening and relaxing spinal muscles from the head to the lower limbs. They are beneficial to the blood supply of small and large joints, internal organs, the entire neuromuscular apparatus and the psyche. The increase of body activity and relaxation are very closely connected with breathing, which is a full component of the exercise system in yoga. You can practice yoga alone, following this scheme. If some exercise is hard to perform, replace it with another which is more comfortable for you. And in a week or two, try it again with small amplitudes. You should always remember the rule: from simple to complex plus gradual load. Here You Will Learn...

Book Description

Yoga has a great reputation for helping back pain, but here's yoga's dirty little secret: most group yoga classes are absolute murder on the back, and can often do far more harm than good! Traditional yoga stretching can provide short-term symptom relief, but at the cost of exacerbating the underlying causes of chronic back pain. What if improved strength, stiffness and stability in our spines is what we need to lead more pain-free lives, NOT arbitrary 'flexibility?' Yoga For Low Back Pain, written by a former group yoga instructor who once found himself debilitated by yoga-induced chronic back pain, explains in easy-to-understand detail the science of back pain--based on years of research by Dr. Stu McGill and his world-renowned Spine Biomechanics Laboratory at the University of Waterloo--and provides the blueprint for a home-based individualized yoga practice that offers you a path out of chronic back pain. Instead of focusing on arbitrary flexibility, the focus of this course is on strength, endurance, stability, and appropriate mobility. Yoga can offer lasting relief from even the most debilitating lower back pain, but only if practiced wisely, and that wisdom cannot come from blindly following traditions and gurus and pre-set one-size-fits-all posture sequences. This book will provision you with the knowledge you need to understand your pain, and will give you all the tools you need to construct your own individualized home yoga practice. A practice based on years of research into the science of back pain. A practice rooted, fundamentally, in your body's innate wisdom.This revolutionary program features over twenty carefully-chosen and researched postures to choose from. Each chapter contains precise, easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step photos to help you master each pose. In addition to pain reduction and the calming, meditative benefits of a yoga practice, this course will also enhance your athletic performance whilst helping you sculpt a leaner, more powerful physique.(All you need to get started is a yoga mat, but a kettlebell is helpful as well, as they are utilized in several poses due to the unique benefits they provide for back-pained individuals.)
