Pain Care Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga for Chronic Pain
My back pain began in my late teens, as a result of a dance injury. The pain persisted, and I had to quit dance, which was my passion and outlet. I tried many forms of treatment (chiropractor, physiotherapy, private pilates, etc). The pain continued for a decade and I was told that I would need to live with the pain for the rest of my life. It was devastating.
I was pointed in the direction of yoga by a friend. I wasn't sold on it at first, but over time, I started to notice that there was a correlation between practicing yoga and less pain. The more I practiced yoga, the less treatment I was requiring, and my back pain was decreasing. My stress levels also became more manageable.
I've learned that you can influence your pain through yoga! With the right tools and guidance, you have the ability to change your pain, improve your mobility and enjoy the quality of life that you deserve.
Yoga Therapy for chronic pain provides knowledge and tools to reduce your pain through practices rooted in yoga therapy. You will gain greater awareness around your body and your pain, receive education on the science behind pain, learn movement and breath practices to help reduce pain and regulate your nervous system, and learn how to move and exercise safely when you have persistent pain.
