Chronic pain is not only a problem in the body. It also reflects changes within the nervous system. This is why effective pain management involves more than treating tissues. It also includes helping the nervous system regain balance.
Yoga supports this process through three key elements: mindful breathing, gentle movement, and mindfulness. Together, these practices may reduce stress, improve body awareness, calm the nervous system, and help people living with chronic pain regain a greater sense of control.
Yoga is not a cure for chronic pain, but when practiced regularly and adapted to individual abilities, it can become a valuable part of comprehensive pain management.
