Yoga for Back Problems

"Yoga for Back Problems" is the answer for almost seventy-five per cent of the world's population that suffers from back problems today. Obesity, a defective posture, sports injuries, muscular strain and of course - tress, all take their toll on the back. And with the back being the mainstay of the body, the health of the spine is of crucial importance.Pain-relieving pills merely suppress the pain; wearing a collar or belt provides temporary relief; faith healing, wearing copper bracelets and carrying potato slices (!) in your pocket are only signs of desperation. There is a simple, tried and tested remedy that has proven successful in most cases, accompanied of course by the doctor's approval. Yoga is that winning answer, the only investment equired being effort and time.The adage, 'At birth, we have the spines our parents gave us; at age 40, we have the spines we deserve', is a blatant pointer at the nature of our lifestyles. Follow this well-illustrated handbook written by a yoga therapist-cum-aerobics trainer, and be comfortably mobile, active and free of back pain.
