Medical Yoga Therapy

“Medical yoga,” also known as “Medical Yoga Therapy,” is a hybrid of “modern science” and “Hatha Yoga.” Diagnostic tests and imaging from modern science, such as blood tests, X-rays, M.R.I. scans, and so on, are evaluated to determine the root cause of the problem.

Following such a thorough medical examination, some Hatha Yoga Postures are advised, with modifications made using specially constructed props such as chairs, benches, bolsters, cushions, blocks, ropes, belts, and so on. Despite the fact that the use of props makes it a “passive” therapy, it allows patients to hold the pose for far longer than unassisted classical Yoga asana. What distinguishes this passive therapy from active therapy is that it considerably diminishes the ‘active’ mental awareness of oneself and body muscles that occurs naturally while executing classical Yoga asanas.

We normally aid patients by tying a few ropes and belts around their bodies in order to get the desired stretch and restore alignment at the afflicted muscles or joints. 

Medical Yoga Treatment is often learned and performed by most patients on their own, if they practise it on a daily basis and begin to grasp the pain sites and gain an awareness of their therapeutic logic.

These asanas have been changed with the goal of making them simple, relaxing, and safe for everyone, including patients and the elderly. These asanas are often performed against a wall or with the use of specifically constructed props such as chairs, benches, bolsters, cushions, ropes, belts, blocks, and so on.

A normal daily session lasts around an hour and a half.

Medical Yoga Therapy is now commonly utilised for the non-drug treatment of musculoskeletal diseases such as osteoarthritis, spondylitis, frozen shoulders, and so on. It is also widely used to treat stress and other physiological problems such as Type 2 diabetes, bronchial/allergic asthma, and so on.

Smriti Iyer, our certified, experienced, and trained Medical Yoga Therapist, personally cares for all of our patients. She has previously worked at several hospitals in Delhi, where she dealt with patients suffering from back pain, neck pain, sciatica nerve pain, spondylitis, and other ailments.

Smriti Iyer combines her understanding of Medical Yoga, Bodywork, and alternative treatments such as Reiki and Pranic Healing to provide a comprehensive therapy and care for all patients. This is to ensure that no stone has been left unturned in the pursuit of a drug-free therapy for these conditions, which are now treated by surgery or medicine. 

Doctors are generally hesitant to recommend this type of drug-free treatment. Patients that enter into our studio are usually on pain medication or have been advised to have emergency surgery. We’ve had patients who had to leave their offices due to excruciating pain.
