Yoga For Neck Pain
Posted on June 28, 2008, under Health.
Most of the time shoulder pain,neck pain and back pain are because of wrong standing posture.Just learning the correct distribution of weight and various movements of arms can remove the pain and fatigue from your back & neck.
Samasthiti:
- Stand upright, with feet together
- Tighten the knee caps and lift the keep up
- Keep the shin bones in line with thigh bones, with the front pressed back
- Keep the arms straight down by the sides, in line with hips with head straight in Samasthiti, the arms are extended downward from the shoulders to the knuckles.Align the shoulders so that one is standing straight and properly balanced.
Spread the bottom of the feet; align and balance the shins and thighbones.Extend the hamstrings.Create arches in the feet.Position the chest taking the arms back slightly.
Urdhva Baddhanguliyasana:
Interlocking of the fingers in Samasthiliti exercises the knuckles.All the joints of each finger are opened.The chest is broadened and lengthened.While interlocking, one has to remember the position of fingers in order to change the interlock.Often, the interchange in the interlocked fingers is not understood properly.The interlockedآ fingers always cover the back of the palms and not the front.To change the interlock, bring the little finger of the other hand to be at the loose end.The rest of the technique such as locking tightly up to the ‘web’ or ‘pit’ of the fingers and reversing the wrist is followed in the same manner.
- Interlock the fingers
- Rotate the palms of the hands and wrists away from you,(thumbs pointing towards the floor), straighten the elbows
- Extend the arms up towards the ceiling, and open the palms fully
- Bring the hands forward
- Release the interlock, lower the arms down
- Now change the interlock
