Book excerpt: "This book is dedicated to those who have suffered from severe pain, lower back or otherwise and have experienced its devastating impact. As we all know, birds and animals have neither doctors nor medicines; they cure themselves with their natural instinct, whereas our diseased body organs are restored to normal by administering medicine internally or externally. Why can’t our bodies also be healed with the help of Yoga Postures, Aqua-Pressure and Dietary Controls? The aim of this book, therefore, is to make the general public aware of the yogic methods of treating various diseases and ailments. The emphasis on topics, choice of asanas and other exercises given have been deliberate only to highlight therapeutic yoga as a practical guide for stress-proofing of the body as well as the mind. May yoga prosper in leaps and bounds and bring peace to the world!"

Download or read book Medical Yoga Therapy written by Terry Roth Schaff and published by . This book was released on 2018-08-05 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a training manual and a resource for nurses, physical therapists, doctors, yoga therapists and yoga teachers who are looking for ways to utilize yoga as a therapeutic modality to help older people and patients suffering from a range of ailments relating to muscles, bones, joints and nerves. This work is called medical yoga therapy: the targeted use of yoga, not merely for general wellbeing but as a complementary form of treatment for specific, diagnosed medical conditions. Medical yoga therapy is not an alternative to western medicine (though it can sometimes eliminate or postpone the need for surgery or drugs): rather, it is a complement. Done correctly, it can relieve pain, increase mobility, improve balance, strengthen muscles, support bone health, and decrease the chance of falls and other injuries which, in older people or patients, can be life-threatening or debilitating. In this book the author introduces readers to thirteen specific medical conditions having to do with bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. And for each condition she offers a selection of appropriate poses, complete with photographs and detailed instructions, including specific hints for working with patients whose strength and range of motion may be quite limited. She has organized each section into three series of poses, seated, stand and floor. These poses have been adapted from traditional hatha yoga postures. They have been designed to relieve pain, improve health, promote acceptance of life, and encourage a peaceful state of mind. All have been carefully chosen and refined through years of clinical practice.
