Recently, yoga has become very popular and more and more people are addicted to it. Someone in order to lose weight, someone to heal from all the sores at once, someone to become spiritually rich. In this case, everyone believes unconditionally that it will help in any case, even in where the medicine was powerless. We read a lot of feedback from those people who were helped by yoga, but very few statements from doctors. A lot of doctors left the profession in yoga, a lot is left, but they do yoga and support their patients in every possible way, but, is there an objective opinion of a traditional medicine professional about yoga? So, the theme of our today's article is "Yoga, to practice or not, doctor's advice."
Of those who speak a little with caution in the address of yoga are orthopedists. They even more caution those who begin to practice yoga, to be more careful and not so assertive in their desires, rather than not doing yoga at all. Doctors are urged not to hurry to master everything at once and in a short time, to engage with the instructor, in complex asanas to resort to the help of another person, to react to the pain in the body and not to continue through it, and before each yoga exercise do warm-up for stretching the muscles. These simple rules will help you avoid bruises, injuries and torn ligaments.
Many specialists in physiotherapy exercises have nothing against yoga, because many yoga asanas in many ways duplicate our, even Soviet, exercises for the treatment of cervical and thoracic osteochondrosis. Naturally, all this taking into account the above remarks - without fanaticism. And indeed, many asanas are our gymnastics, gymnastics and special exercises for the spine, but only for us it is more convenient to believe in yoga than to your doctors. But this is a digression. Yoga is also the right breathing, which we were so unsuccessfully tried to teach in physical education classes, and therefore the doctors are very supportive of yoga.
Yoga has several branches, and therefore if you choose yoga associated with high temperatures, for example Bikram yoga (or a hot room), then before you begin, you need to consult a doctor. This type of yoga is not suitable for people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Also, in this case, do not meditate and concentrate. People who are diagnosed with epilepsy and schizophrenia also need to give up meditation. Yoga is also taught to remove pain. Do not do this, if you do not know, a clear reason for your pain. You can learn not to hear or feel pain, and the disease will progress, which can lead to undesirable consequences. All the doctors insist that doing yoga - bring you pleasure, and if you feel pain, then you need to stop and listen to your body. Wait for this condition, consult with the instructor, if not, consult a doctor.
Also, yoga teaches you how to cope with stress, so in this case, doctors also advocate yoga. It is known that stress is the cause of many of our diseases and ailments, from the gastrointestinal tract to heart diseases, so knowing ourselves, meditating, right breathing and exercise - all this in a positive way affects our body, teaches coping with stress and, another look at the world and yourself. In addition, with a sedentary lifestyle, yoga helps to keep our body toned, strengthen the muscles of the body and prevent them from stagnating through simple exercises. All this is possible when practicing yoga with a professional instructor, because the studies of American physiotherapists have shown that those who work at home and beginners do not cope with stress, while people who have been involved for a long time and with instructors have even improved their performance . Such research can be skeptical, but we all understand that it is better to engage with a professional than touch and at random, and it does not matter that it will be yoga or gymnastics, it is important to take care of your body. This is it, yoga, zaniaitsya or not, the advice of a doctor should help you in choosing!
