Excellent Study Shows Yoga Helps People With Back Pain
Posted on 02. Nov, 2011 by Margaret in Yoga
As a student of Yoga Therapy, I was excited to see this long awaited study and eager to see more work done on this important topic.
The Archives of Internal Medicine, a major medical journal, published a clinical trial showing the effects of yoga for low back pain. The study is the best of its kind in organization, sheer brute numbers and statistical analysis.
With researchers like the study’s lead investigator, Karen Sherman from the Group Health Research Institute in Seattle, I hope to see similar studies done to demonstrate not just the physical but the psychological and spiritual benefits of yoga.
