Yoga for Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a condition in which tissues become inflamed and cause extreme pain while lifting or moving the arm in certain directions. Excessive use of a shoulder joint is thought to lead to this condition.
To avoid the pain, sufferers try not to move arms at all. This may lead to adverse consequences. When the joint is not used in the correct frequency, the Luis Costa unused ligaments and tissues can stiffen. The pain and stiffness can become chronic, making life very difficult during one’s advanced years. Antiinflammatory drugs can cause the acute phase to subside, but episodes of this condition generally recur. In some cases, the biceps actually tear and require surgical repair.
Hasthauthanasana
Stand straight with legs wide apart
Cross arms at the wrists in front of the body with the palms turned in
Inhaling deeply, lift arms high, stopping where the shoulder hurts Holding your breath, spread arms out and then back to the crossed wrist position Exhaling, bring arms back to starting position After a breath or two, repeat the procedure. Repeat ten times during one session. Everyday, try to raise arms a little higher than the previous day, till you can lift them fully above the head.
Tadasana
