I have been working with two students on a semi private basis to address their lower back issues due to their intense biking and athletic activities. It has been great to work with them exploring how to improve and release tightness while gaining more awareness to stay pain free!
According to a study in the journal Spine (Sept. 1, 2009), yoga therapy can reduce pain and improve function in people with chronic low back pain. Chronic low back pain—defined as pain that lasts more than three months—is notoriously difficult to treat. Not surprisingly, it drives many sufferers to turn to alternative and complementary therapies in search of relief.
