Yoga poses for back pain

The usual reasons for lower back pains are due to inflexibility in the connective tissues or muscles in the back or frail stomach muscles. Incorrect postures while sitting and standing are due to the lack of active physical movement. Sedentary lifestyles also contribute stiff and aching back muscles.

Some common asanas to treat backache include tadasana samasthithi, tadasana urdhva hastasana, tadasana urdhva, baddha, hastasana, utthita trikosana, utthita parsvakonasana, ardha chandrasana, prasarita padottanasana, the butterfly pose, the cobra pose, the camel pose, etc. All these asanas are safe and easy to follow and can be performed by people of any age group. However if you are new to yoga or a novice it is highly recommended you follow the advice and guidance of a yoga therapist in order to learn he breathing techniques and the movements according to it.

When performing the asanas, try to be as alert and vigilant as your body moves in a particular manner, to the asana. Through practiced controlled stretching deep meditative techniques and controlled breathing the aches and pains of backs can be normalized. With the help of yoga you will be able to control your mind and get rid of stressful thoughts and tension that are more often than not, the culprits of nagging aches and pains, especially in the back and neck.
