NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - "Oh, my aching back!" may be heard less frequently as people with chronic lower back pain find some relief from a therapeutic form of yoga, a new study suggests.
Yoga is often promoted as a way to ease lower back pain and other chronic body aches, but there have been few rigorously conducted studies on the subject. For the current study, published in the journal Spine, researchers randomly assigned 90 adults (average age 48, range 18-70) with chronic lower back pain to either stay with conventional care or take six months of Iyengar-style yoga classes. Iyengar is a form of yoga that emphasizes proper body alignment and uses "props," such as blocks, blankets and the wall, to help support people in the various yoga postures. The certified Iyengar yoga instructors in this study had experience using yoga therapy for back pain. Overall, the researchers found, the yoga group showed not only greater improvements in pain and mobility, but also a larger reduction in depression symptoms. And the benefits were seen immediately after the six-month yoga regimen ended, as well as six months later. The findings do not mean that every style of yoga is right for back-pain sufferers. "People have to remember that this was a therapeutic Iyengar class," lead researcher Dr. Kimberly Williams, of West Virginia University in Morgantown, said in an interview. She recommended that people with lower back pain who are interested in trying Iyengar yoga find a certified teacher with the experience to help them adjust the poses to their needs. That means talking with the teacher before starting a class, and keeping him or her posted on how the back problem is faring, according to Williams. The study subjects had been suffering lower back pain for more than three months. About half took twice-weekly yoga classes for 24 weeks (n = 43), while the rest were put on a 6-month waiting list while staying with usual care, such as pain medication (n = 47). After 24 weeks, the yoga group reported greater improvements in pain and disability, on average, than the comparison group. And while none of the study participants had major depression, the yoga group's scores on a standard measure of depression symptoms improved to a greater degree than the comparison group's. When the researchers evaluated the patients six months neck pain treatment later, they found that the yoga group was still faring better, on average. There was a "specific rationale" behind the pose choices and sequencing used in the study, Williams noted. Because all of the muscles that act on the pelvis can affect lower back pain, the classes focused on those muscles, with postures that "opened" the hips and stretched the backs of the legs, for example. Backbends, a staple in many yoga classes, were excluded. People in the yoga group were also given a DVD, written instructions, and props to keep up a home practice. "I think people with lower back pain need to be engaged in their recovery," Williams said. "And this gives them a step-by-step approach to do that." SOURCE: Spine, September 2009. http://uk.reuters.com/article/health-us-yoga-pain-idUKTRE58951320090910 As we practice yoga poses we want to do also inversions. Most common inversions are the Headstand and the Shoulderstand. But there are not only those two poses which are the inverted asanas.
Any posture in which the head is below the heart is called an inversion. Whether you stand on your head, bend forward or bend back, if your head is below your heart, you are performing an inversion. This also means that Downward Facing Dog, Standing Forward Bend and Fish pose are also inversions; although those poses are mild in comparison to a Headstand. The Camel pose can also be an inversion if you bend back far enough. Remember - inversions are not for everyone! Your intentions should be clear when you perform any yoga posture. If the risks may outweigh the benefits there is no logical reason why you should practice any pose which can harm you. Contraindications for practicing inversions: If you have any of the following conditions, please omit inversions or work with a qualified and experienced teacher who will never put you at risk and tried to modify your practice. Anyone who has high blood pressure, heart related problems, eye issues, neck problems, epilepsy, previous stroke or sinus problems should never practice Headstand or Shoulderstand, and omit other mild inversions or be adjusted by the yoga teacher. During any stage of pregnancy yoga should be practiced in a prenatal yoga classes specifically designed for that purpose or privately with a qualified pregnancy yoga teacher. During menstruation Headstand and Shoulderstand preferably should be omitted and other milder inversions should not be hold for long, but because of the controversy about the inversions during menstruation it is your personal choice. Let your body guide you. If you are a yoga teacher explain to your students why the inversions can be dangerous for them if they have any of the condition mentioned earlier. Why not stand on your head when you have pain in your neck or neck injury? What first thing will come to your mind as you there? Ouch ... my neck! Can my small neck carry my whole weight as I am inverted? Most students put lots of weight on their head and neck instead of shoulders. Use your common sense and listen to your body. Intuition will never let you down. Why omit headstand if I have high blood pressure? Because the danger is when your blood pressure increase from 100/60 mm Hg while standing on your feet to 150/110 mm Hg or even higher when you go for headstand.
