Yoga Therapy as an Alternate Integrative Treatment Modality



Due to the immense progress made by medical science people are now certainly living longer but yet there is no denying the fact that quality of living has deteriorated in all over the world. People now suffer more due to this falling quality of life and chronic pain has come up as one of the most common medical conditions for which a growing number of adults now opt for alternative complimentary therapies like yoga and yoga therapists now play a role more important than ever in the medical and healthcare industry.

During the last couple of decades yoga has become one of the most popular modalities of integrative medicine in the USA as well as in many European countries and is now considered as a feasible and valid method for addressing joint pain and stiffness, arthritis, musculoskeletal pains and also pain in back and neck and headache by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. Yoga therapy is also found to be effective in treatment of a number of stresses induced ailments including cardiovascular problems, depression, anxiety, obesity and others.   

As yoga is playing an increasingly important role in modern healthcare, demand for qualified and expert yoga therapists is also on a rise. Athletic trainers, physical therapists and professionals working in similar and associated fields are found to be the ideal candidates for a profession of yoga therapist. They can opt for graduate level courses on therapeutic yoga or they can also acquire a post graduate certificate for a career as a professional yoga therapist. Doctors can also study yoga at their post graduate level and can apply those techniques in their clinical practice too and thus opting for a more holistic approach in treating a wide variety of diseases those are already mentioned here and that can always be a better option than physical therapy only.
