Last week I mentioned a brief article from US Consumer Reports highlighting a study that found yoga (and tai chi, or the like) was helpful to almost 90 percent of people who experienced back pain.
I also said the suggested stretches in the article weren’t helpful. So which ones are?!
One that commonly helps with back pain when the back pain is due to tight muscles in your legs and hips – a common cause, is this version of supta padangusthasana (or hand to big toe). Just click on the video below for a short tutorial. It’s also one of the poses I feature in my video of favourite restorative yoga poses. Over the next few weeks, I’ll feature a couple more poses that can help with back pain. Try them and see which one works for you.
So what do you do with back pain?
