Description
Fibromyalgia is characterized by widespread pain in muscles, ligaments, and tendons, in addition to fatigue and more than one tender points (places at the body where slight pressure causes pain). Even supposing mainstream medicine has yet to devise a successful plan for treating fibromyalgia, yoga offers sensible strategies for managing—and occasionally 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 discover ways to reduce stress and manage fibromyalgia through eight sequences: four for pain relief, one to diminish fatigue and fortify sleep, and three for maintaining body awareness and general flexibility. The writer’s simple, supportive language and mixture of theory, practice, and the up to date scientific data offer hope for one of as of late’s most challenging health conditions.
