Yoga is a mind-body practice that combines controlled breathing, meditation, and physical poses to help you increase strength and flexibility, improve mobility, and reduce stress and anxiety. At RehabOne Medical Group, the physicians recommend yoga to ease chronic pain, and improve body function.
Just about anybody can benefit from yoga as the health and wellness benefits associated with it are endless. Examples include:
Doing yoga regularly helps reduce your risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, anxiety, depression, and insomnia.
Various forms of yoga your provider might encourage you to try include:
During restorative yoga, you’ll use blocks, blankets, and other props to experience the benefits of yoga without extra effort. Doing so makes your session relaxing and activates your parasympathetic nervous system.
Hatha yoga helps improve posture in addition to increasing strength and flexibility. The poses are basic, a good option for beginners, and help you feel more relaxed.
The physicians at RehabOne Medical Group often work yoga into a treatment plan for pain relief if you don’t have an underlying medical condition that prevents you from safely completing physical activity.
Your doctor may recommend dietary changes and other stress- and pain-relieving therapies, such as chiropractic care, massage, acupuncture, or physical therapy, in addition to yoga.
