Yoga for Fibromyalgia

fullDescription

Eight simple and relaxing yoga sequences for fibromyalgia patients looking to manage their pain, alleviate their fatigue, and improve their overall well-being
 
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons, as well as fatigue and multiple tender points (places on the body where slight pressure causes pain). Although mainstream medicine has yet to devise a successful plan for treating fibromyalgia, yoga offers sensible strategies for managing—and sometimes overcoming—the pain.
 
Written by a yoga teacher and suitable for both yoga novices and veterans, this book is grounded in simple movements, breathing techniques, and guided visualization and relaxation sessions. Readers learn to reduce stress and manage fibromyalgia through eight sequences: four for pain relief, one to diminish fatigue and improve sleep, and three for maintaining body awareness and general flexibility. The author’s simple, supportive language and mixture of theory, practice, and the latest scientific data offer hope for one of today's most challenging health conditions.

   • source: Timothy McCall, MD, editor of Yoga Journal, author of Yoga as Medicine

5. • premium: False
   • source: Julie Gudmestad, PT, director of the Gudmestad Yoga Studio, Portland, OR and author of Yoga Journal's "Anatomy" column
   • content: This book is an inviting introduction to yoga for fibromyalgia sufferers.

6. • premium: False
   • source: Jeanne Melvin, MS, OTR/L, FAOTA, author of Fibromyalgia Syndrome and Getting Healthy
   • content: Ms. Crotzer's breathing and awareness techniques are excellent for increasing focus and mental clarity, which facilitate coping not only with fibromyalgia but also with general stress. She has done a terrific job of adapting traditional yoga poses, somem of which can be done in a chair. And the book's instructions and photos make the poses easy to follow. I particularly like the sections called "Everyday Yoga," which give examples of how to use the poses throughout the day. Her yoga sequences can clearly help people with fibromyalgia in a way that is gentle and does not cause pain.
