Physiotherapy and Yoga

Physiotherapy Treatment is based upon the latest physiotherapy principles with an understanding that everyone is unique and therefore treatment must be tailored to suit each individual.
Yoga Physio: Physiotherapy involves gaining a full understanding of your condition by taking a full case history and carrying out an assessment to establish what the cause of the problem is.
Many poses in Yoga can be used as treatment to certain case such as: Backache, Premenstrual Tension, Constipation and etc.
As a physiotherapist, i agree that we should combine treatment so we can help our patients.  Case such as Arthritis can be very tricky because it depend on patient age and other factors. After physiotherapy treatment we could give a gentle yoga exercise. Yoga’s gentle exercises designed to provide relief to needed joints had been found to be very effective in relieving arthritis.
"Exercise is very important to try to reestablish a complete range of motion. Of course, that doesn't mean you should induce a long continual strain. We encourage a moderate amount of non-strenuous, non-weight-bearing exercises tailored to the individual's needs. Some yoga postures are not tolerated well, particularly by those past 50."
