Yoga as a therapy is specific and combines modern day science with an ancient healing practice. A yoga therapist will be trained to a higher degree of understanding of how the body works as one unit with means of integrating mindfulness, relaxation and ease into a tailor made program for each individual client. Yoga Therapy is a discipline in itself and is set aside from all other therapies by the use of deep rhythmic breathing, precise controlled movements and profound relaxation. A yoga therapist will steer the client to start looking inwards and let recovery begin from the inside out.
Back to the knees…..
The knee joints bear the weight of the body but have no strong muscles for support ,therefore it is vulnerable to injuries, sprains and osteoarthritis . As a yoga therapist , I can help you to stabilize the knee without “locking”, strengthen the quadriceps and ligaments surrounding the knee. Learn the importance of keeping the connective tissue and muscles stretched to ensure knee will fully straighten and another important factor is how to avoid hyper extension of the knee joint.
A word of advice : Knees love to the legs to be straight but never never FORCE LOCK THE KNEES !
