Yoga for Chronic Pain, Fibromyalgia, and those with Limited MobilityChronic conditions and pain cause considerable stress or fatigue in an already compromised body. This may also inhibit the effectiveness of treatments or result in additional discomfort. Many doctors and health care professionals recommend yoga for exercise, meditation, relaxation and relief of stress.
nelumboyoga therapy teaches a calming, recovery-style yoga that serves to decrease pain and stress, in a supported and gentle manner. It is highly therapeutic and restorative in nature.
Many people report feeling more comfortable and with a marked reduction in symptoms and side effects of their conditions after a therapeutic yoga class. Yoga tends to give people a feeling of hope and optimism that helps make coping with a chronic condition a little bit easier.
It should be noted that yoga or other methods of relaxation and meditation are not meant to be a substitute for regular medical treatment. Yoga will not cure chronic illness, but it will reduce suffering and make you more comfortable, receptive to treatment and promote overall health.
