Yoga is contraindicated for people with diseases of the musculoskeletal system, for example, arthritis and osteochondrosis. Alexey Afanasyev, surgeon and orthopedic traumatologist at the European Medical Center (EMC), told socialbites.ca.
“If you decide to do yoga, you need to consult an orthopedic traumatologist. This idea should be postponed if you have certain musculoskeletal diseases. “We are talking about rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, stage 4 osteoarthritis, exacerbation of gout, ankylosing spondylitis, osteochondrosis with radicular syndrome, and rheumatic and non-rheumatic myalgia,” the doctor said.
In addition, you should not do yoga if you have inflammation of ligaments, tendons, bursitis and pain syndromes of any origin (origin), including post-traumatic inflammation of soft tissues after acute injuries in general.
“Patients with chronic joint instability need to choose other activities; yoga is not their option,” the doctor said.
He also advised that if you can’t see any contraindications to yoga at first glance, it’s important to do an adequate warm-up before each workout and cool down afterwards. You should also not do exercises that cause pain.
