COMMON YOGA INJURIES WE TREAT
Some of the conditions we treat include:
- Lower back: Forward bends can lead to bulging discs and other injuries.
- Knee tears: Your knee can twist out of alignment while coming in or out of a pose.
- Hamstring tears: It’s possible to push too deeply into a forward pose and pull the hamstring at the upper part near the buttocks.
- Wrist strains: Spending a lot of time in the downward dog position can do a number on your wrists and elbows, particularly if you have carpal tunnel syndrome or perform a lot of computer work.
- Shoulder blade and rib pain: Shifting from upward to downward dog requires near perfect balance and places tremendous stress on your shoulder area. Being off balance challenges your shoulder girdle and strains the rotator cuff and rib cage.
- Neck injuries: Without proper support, the wheel, plow, headstand and shoulder stand can place an enormous amount of strain on the neck.
