When I looked more closely at my surroundings I noticed that my the placement of the computer may have something to do with the way I round my posture. Then I began to look more closely to the way people carry their frame when in motion. Gravity does take a toll on the skeletal system, but remember, your muscles hold up your skeleton and the muscles are contracted by thought impulses created by a neural network that connects to the CNS, central nervous system. These pathways are created by years of conditioning and bad postural habits. Most chronic aches and pains happen over time, a build up of added pressures and the heavy burden of grasping for more material happiness may cause a stress related injury such as neck and back pain. Movement is medicine, learn to use the wall in your house to support a posture that extends the spine. Use the floor and do bow pose or cobra. These movements help stretch the body in the opposite direction of the cause of dis-ease. The more you move your body, the better it oxygenates the blood circulation. Circulation heals aches and pains simply by the logic of if your toilet is clog, its gonna stink up your bathroom and the same goes for the human body.

Neck and Back Pain are RSIs
Sunday, October 4th, 2009Yoga Therapy
Monday, June 1st, 2009Yoga therapy is the new buzz word in the yoga community, but what does this really mean to the people who are not aware? There is an influx of wonderful qualified healers that may fill the gap between the doctor, psychiatrist, and physical therapist. Yoga therapy is a burgeoning healing art and science within the great tradition of yoga in union with western medicine and anatomy knowledge. It is meant to focus on the specific needs of people who may not be able to go to a regular yoga class. The sessions are one on one so that a physical, emotional, and dietary assessment can be made to fit a treatment plan for the individual in need of this type of remedy. The most important thing to remember with the healing process is it is not a quick fix. Healing in the vernacular of the yoga therapist is about healing the whole person, not just fixing a chronic lower back pain or neck injury. The relationship between the client and the therapist has to be established so that an honest dialog can be made to get a clear picture of the problem at hand. This type of exchange may not happen at the doctor’s or physical therapist’s office. Yoga therapy may be used as a complimentary treatment program after talking to your local health professional.
