Relieve From Arthritis Symptoms
Gentle yoga has been shown to relieve some of the discomforts of tender, swollen joints and brittle bones for people with arthritis. The poses used in arthritis patients included gentle backbends, forward bends, balances, twists, sitting, standing, and lying postures. The postures can be modified based on concerns for the individual patient. Blocks, blankets, straps, and chairs can be used as props to modify the poses.
Give it a try: forward bend, backbend, side bend, twist, and Supported.
Sensitivity is more in arthritis people, all the poses as mentioned earlier should be carried out gently. Always remember not to rush; take time and keep pushing yourself to achieve the posture gradually. Know your comfort point, do not push very hard, and always use some props to help you achieve the pose.
