Journal Of Yoga And Physical Therapy

Yoga is on the rise and making a positive impact on conventional physical therapy. While it is pretty new in the West, yoga is well-established in many countries and older than Western medicines- originating in the East thousands of years ago. Yoga boosts a developing body of highly promising research - mostly related to physical therapy and pain management in a variety of conditions. It is important to understand that the exact therapeutic effects of yoga, that either exclusively or as an adjunct to conventional therapy, is still presently being explored. Strong research is emerging in the field of psychology supporting the use of meditation and yoga principles to support distressful emotional states including anxiety, depression, trauma, and pain. In case of pain, especially when chronic, is more than just a physical irritation of body. Psychological factors and mal-adaptive beliefs about pain sometimes contribute to symptoms. Incorporating yoga philosophies in certain populations might have an influential effect in regulating pain and improving well-being.
