Controlled
activity is one of the most important ways of dealing with Arthritis. Yes, the
symptoms like chronic pain and stiffness can make it difficult to take part in
regular physical activities. But if you want to recover from such stubborn
joint problems, then you need to make use of your joints in a restrained and
careful manner.
In
such a scenario, the ancient discipline of Yoga can be enormously beneficial!
Yoga and Arthritis
While
there is no outright cure for the problem of Arthritis, Yoga can help you
regain and maintain joint mobility, flexibility and strength. Regular practice
of Yoga can improve blood circulation in and around the joints and muscles,
thus allowing the joint structures to get fresh oxygenated and nutrient-rich
blood. Furthermore, Yoga can encourage bone growth and help maintain the
structural integrity of the joints. Most importantly, Yoga has a deeply
positive impact on your mood, enabling you to sustain your present predicament with
fortitude and serenity.
What is Yoga?
This
ancient Indian mind-body practice uses physical postures, controlled breathing
and meditative gestures to enable you to relax and regain the strength that you
have lost to disease and illness. Yoga consists of:
1. Asana: These are specialized
postures which have been handed down from ancient lineages of Yoga teachers and
students. These Asanas increase muscular strength, improve flexibility and
boost blood circulation throughout the body.
2. Pranayama: Another important
aspect of Yoga is the practice of controlled breathing. Through Pranayama, the
entire body becomes rejuvenated with fresh supply of oxygen. Pranayama also
helps to moderate your mood and psychological state.
3. Mudra: These are symbolic
gestures usually made using the hands. They help you calm down and prepare your
mind for a deep and immersive period of meditation.
Yoga for Arthritis
1. Ardha Salabhasana: Also known as the
‘Half Locust Pose’, this Asana provides you with a comprehensive workout for
the bones and muscles in your arms, legs, back and abdomen. It stimulates the
nervous system, enhances digestion and moderates the functioning of abdominal
organs.
2. Surya Bhedana Pranayama: Regular practice of
this breathing technique rejuvenates the entire body, thus allowing you to
complete your daily activities in spite of having Arthritis. Simultaneously, it
improves stamina, thus enabling you to lead a fulfilling life.
3. Pada Mudra: This particular Mudra improves
muscular flexibility and strength in the legs, which is usually negatively
affected by Arthritis. Regular practice of this Mudra will help you maintain
joint function in the legs while reducing pain sensation caused by Arthritis.
