Therapeutic yoga can help reduce or even heal many chronic or acute physical ailments, including aches and pains in the back, legs, arms, neck, hands, feet, shoulders, hips, and knees. Therapeutic yoga can help you recover more quickly from injuries (recent or old) and from surgery. In fact, doing therapeutic yoga before surgery can help prepare you for surgery and speed your healing after surgery. If you suffer from long-term or progressively debilitating conditions, therapeutic yoga can transform certain physical limitations into greater physical ability, helping to ease aches and pains along the way.
