Yoga for Arthritis

Arthritis is generally the result of deterioration of the soft tissues which cover and protect our joints.



Due to this, the bones start to rub against each other; this can be terribly painful.



Many doctors and medical practitioners are of the opinion that that the deterioration may be the result of the pressure of gravity on the joints – wear and tear of life, in a manner of speaking.



Obesity and heredity also contribute to this deterioration.

Whatever the causes, arthritis seems to be related to poor bone and muscle health, disproportionate body weight, and an unhealthy lifestyle. Through the practice of Yoga, these things can be greatly corrected. Yogasanas help strengthen your joints. This is crucial to preventing and dealing with arthritis. They help the joints function normally, thereby reducing the risk of stiffness. The practice of Yoga helps regulate the levels of uric acid in the body. More importantly, Yoga leads to an overall healthier lifestyle , one that will  increase your resistance not only from arthritis but to other sicknesses as well.
