While conventional treatments like medication and physical therapy are widely recommended for shoulder pain, yoga has emerged as a holistic approach that can offer significant benefits. Here, we explore the specific benefits of yoga for shoulder pain.
- Improved Flexibility and Range of Motion
Yoga helps to increase flexibility and improve the range of motion in the shoulder joint. - Strengthening Shoulder Muscles
Weak shoulder muscles can contribute to pain and instability. Strengthening these muscles provides better support for the joint, reducing the risk of injury and chronic pain. - Posture Correction
Poor posture is a major contributor to shoulder pain, especially for those who spend long hours sitting at a desk or using electronic devices. Yoga emphasizes proper alignment and posture, helping to counteract the effects of slouching and forward head posture.
