Download or read book Yoga Therapy for Arthritis written by Dr Steffany Moonaz and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2018-12-21 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga therapy is commonly used for the management of arthritis, but often focusses exclusively on adaptation of the physical poses and on structural solutions. This book moves beyond the traditional routines to present yoga as a lifestyle designed to improve quality of life and overall well-being for individuals living with arthritis and rheumatic conditions. By incorporating the ancient practices of yoga as both physical and mental exercises involving a model of 5-koshas or sheaths (physical, energetic, mental/emotional, wisdom, and spiritual), the yoga therapy practice presented here will help reduce pain and shift the perspective of the individual living with arthritis. This therapy uses a whole-person approach that employs a broad range of tools to address the biopsychosocial effects of arthritis through the application of yoga practices and philosophy. Useful as a guide for people living with arthritis, this book is full of inspiration for self care along with instructions for yoga teachers and medical professionals to guide their clients using this whole-person perspective.

Download or read book Heal Your Arthritis Live Your Life written by Dr. Sara S. Morrison and published by Dr. Sara S. Morrison. This book was released on with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When you wake up, are your joints the first things to speak to you? Do you have swollen, stiff, or achy joints? Have you been told you have arthritis? Do you know when it is going to rain, just by the soreness level in your joints? Are you tired of missing activities with family and loved ones because of your arthritis? Do you ever want to feel “normal” again? Many people think of arthritis as the end of living. “I have arthritis. It is just going to keep getting worse and worse. There’s nothing I can do about it”. WRONG! It’s true that once arthritis occurs, it is always there. But there are many ways to improve your pain, movement, strength, and functioning even with arthritis! Over the years I have found it increasing hard for people to find accurate information on healing their pain. Sure, there is a ton of information out there! Just search “arthritis” on the internet and thousands upon thousands of sites will come up. But is it accurate? Can you really believe it? Much of it is misleading. It is someone trying to sell you something. Others are just plain wrong! So how is a non-medical person supposed to find accurate information on improving their pain? That is why I wrote this book. I hope you enjoy it. And if you like it, please share it with a friend.~ Dr. Sara S. Morrison
