Subject: RE: [Kundalini Yoga] cronic slip disk
Any facing downward, lift chest/arms (with arms at the side) and straight
legs (slowly, and only using muscles, not pushing yourself up will help
strengthen back muscles and gradually move the disk back. Lying on the side
and slowly lifting both legs together can help also. (very similar to what
you might learn from a Physical Therapist). This might take awhile -- 6
months or more -- to help, but you might feel some pain relief immediately.
Also, you might consider getting Gary Kraftsow's book on Viniyoga -- it is
Yoga Therapy, and he has many routines for back issues.
Some moves and poses you really want to avoid, so some KY will be
beneficial, others might actually make things work.
Here's a great relief -- lie on your back with you calves (bottoms of the
legs) on a flat chair, knees bend 90 degrees. You can put a small pillow
under you head if it feel more comfortable -- just lie there as long as you
have time for -- even while watching TV -- it will feel very good on your
back.
Also, if you do anything that really aggravates the condition (and are in
lots of pain) ice the area for 10 minutes.
