Will Yoga Help Ease Back Pain? Part 1

Through the years, there has been a lot of argument with regards to what exactly are the best methods for relieving back pain.  It’s a fact that there are varying levels of back pain, and many back sufferers tend to overwork their back, as well as forget to do things using the right body posture.  A lot of published medical journal studies however, have agreed that a simple form of yoga does a lot to considerably alleviate the symptoms of back pain. 

The published studies have indicated that practicing the simple form of yoga helps to significantly alleviate back pain, as well as reduce the discomfort, tightness and other related symptoms.  It was noted that the individuals who attend weekly yoga classes, and do as little as 75 minutes of exercise, showed major progress in easing the symptoms of back pain, as compared to those who did nothing at all.  The study also pointed out that those who practiced yoga at home even showed better results, as compared to those who attended formal yoga and exercise classes.           

The exercise classes were primarily designed by yoga teachers to specifically address the problems of back pain, and activities such as forward stretches and various twists were undertaken by each student.  Some exercise patterns were also repeated, depending on each student’s energy levels.  All exercise participants however, manifested significant improvement.      

Yoga is known to give the body a myriad of benefits.  It gives suppleness and elasticity to a person’s body, as well as reinforce the muscles and re-balance the body.   As there are different forms of yoga, students should first be able to find the right class and teachers for them.  Once you begin the yoga class, you should start slowly, and do things gently, as well as keep an open mind, and follow to the hilt what your teachers say, when undertaking the exercises.
 
Yoga experts stress that the proper exercise regimen needs to start with having the right posture.  The pelvic tilt is one exercise method that’s often unnoticed aspect, but is often considered to be a vital cog in eliminating back pain.  Doing the pelvic tilt helps to considerably improve and reinforce the body’s core muscles, as well as further reduce pressure on the back, and upgrade the body’s overall balance. 

A simple core posture is the Plank, either on forearms on the floor or with arms straight. Maintaining this position for 30 seconds or more with a little tailbone tilt will give strength to your core and help maintain alignment.
