Yoga for Therapy and Rehabilitation
|
Many people come to yoga to ward off surgeries, hoping that yoga will relieve their pain and the need for medical intervention.
We have seen many students benefit from a Yoga practice to strengthen their knees, hips and back as they continue their every day activities.
We also work with many students who have gone through surgery to repair a joint that has been damaged through over-use and/or trauma. Working in conjunction with your health-care provider, Yoga is a beneficial complement to traditional physical therapy.
Our Yoga Therapeutics classes are based on anatomical principles of healing naturally with gentle
movements and strengthening postures.

According to a Yoga Journal Press Release, "One significant trend to emerge from the [2008 'Yoga in America' Market Study] study is the use of yoga in medical therapy. According to the study, 6.1 percent, or nearly 14 million Americans, say that a doctor or therapist has recommended yoga to them. In addition, nearly half (45 percent) of all adults agree that yoga would be beneficial if they were undergoing treatment for a medical condition." Additionally, "Yoga as medicine represents the next great yoga wave," says Kaitlin Quistgaard, editor in chief of Yoga Journal. "In the next few years, we will be seeing a lot more yoga in health care settings and more yoga recommended by the medical community as new research shows that yoga is a valuable therapeutic tool for many health conditions."
