Yoga for Back Pain is a practice for relieving pain from Musculoskeletal & Neurological conditions.
background
Yoga for Back Pain uses proven yoga postures to relieve discomfort and pain from various back conditions. Studied extensively by Dr. Loren Fishman, MD., these postures target neurological, musculoskeletal and mixed conditions associated with chronic or episodic back pain. Upon documenting favorable results from numerous patients seen in his Manhattan office, Dr. Fishman published a book called Healing Yoga in January 2015, which detailed his treatment method. To date, Dr. Fishman continues to train yoga instructors in his specialized method, as well as study additional postures and conduct long term studies.
