Yoga for Pain Management: Any Success Stories?

Has anyone had any luck with yoga for pain management? I've tried a bit but only some beginner stretches for 10 minutes at a time. It feels nice in the moment, but has anyone had a good experience with it overall?

Can you help? Connect today

I have been awake since 4 am fighting pain in feet, hand, low back , neck and hip. Nearly going out of my mind. I finally gave in and took my pain meds early. Just now beginning to stop the misery. This is such cruelty.

I've found it helps my nerve pain sometimes, and also my joint pain sometimes. However, I have to be super careful because stretching is a precursor to subluxation for me.

I get that- not the exact same issue, but if I'm not careful stretching I give myself real nasty muscle spasms. It's like walking on eggshells every time.

I think can be really helpful as a Gentle form of excerise or as a way to prevent tense muscles/joints from affecting you as time goes on. It's not something that has big results right away, it's more about a steady practice

I have done chair yoga, I dont have the strength for regular yoga. I haven't done it in a long time, but it did help a bit.

Yeah, the gentle/controlled push is a nice feeling I find.

yeah I've had a pretty good experience. I will say some tutorials have moves that trigger my POTS so I do have to be careful. I would generally say it helps but you've gotta balance that with fatigue and be careful not to overexert.

Yeah i have had it help in the past! I developed mobility issues so its not as easy to do anymore but honestly looking up yoga for specific disorders on like youtube was a life saver at the beginning of my chronic pain journey! The only trick is if it hurts just stop!
