1st Edition
by Rachel Krentzman (Author), Aadil Palkhivala (Foreword)
This unique book offers a
framework for using yoga therapeutically to heal back and spinal
problems. Combining detailed instruction on evaluation and treatment
techniques with personal narrative and case studies, Yoga for a Happy Back
bridges the gap between practicing yoga for better physical health and
understanding the role of the mind-body connection in back pain.
Utilising
her vast experience as a physical therapist and yoga therapist, and the
latest advances in the field, Krentzman advises on how to design
therapeutic yoga classes for individuals with back pain. She includes
information on creating class themes, and never before published
sequences from the Purna yoga tradition for alignment based treatment of
specific spinal conditions.
With over 300 photos and
illustrations, this book enables practitioners to access the benefits of
yoga therapy for the treatment of orthopaedic dysfunctions and to
promote general spinal health.
