Relief is in
the Stretch: End Back Pain Through
Yoga
ISBN
0393058336
The first
book of its kind to offer specific yoga
techniques to cure or control back pain and
sciatica according to its
cause.
This is the
first book to distinguish the nine common
causes of low back pain, to teach you how
to identify them, and to describe
appropriate yoga poses to relieve each one
of them. Dr. Loren M. Fishman, a specialist
in rehabilitation medicine who has been
using yoga in his medical practice for
thirty years, studied yoga
in India for a year with B.
K. S. Iyengar and is an internationally
recognized expert in research and clinical
treatment of sciatica and low back pain.
This book helps you determine how to start
your own yoga practice or alter your
existing practice, depending on the
severity and chronicity of your pain, and
on your physical condition. The postures in
this guide, each one illustrated by a
photograph, target specific sources of
pain—from arthritis to spinal stenosis,
from pregnancy to sacroiliac joint
derangement—and demonstrate how you can
manage, reduce, and ultimately end your
pain. 120 illustrations.
