yoga physical therapy - #26945
I am really confused about this whole yoga physical therapy thing. A few months ago, I hurt my back while lifting weights, and my doctor suggested I try yoga physical therapy along with some exercises at home. At first, I was really skeptical about it. I mean, yoga did not seem like it would help with a serious injury, right? But after trying it, I surprisingly felt some relief. The stretches are tough, and sometimes I feel like I'm not doing them right. My therapist keeps telling me how yoga physical therapy can strengthen my core and improve my flexibility but honestly, I just don't know if I believe it yet. Some days my back really hurts even after the sessions. I was hoping to get input from any doctors who have seen patients benefit from yoga physical therapy, like, how long did it take for you to notice significant improvements? Also, should I be combining it with other things? I’m just scared that I’m wasting time and money on something that won’t ultimately work. Do you think there's a chance this yoga physical therapy could be more harmful than good? Any insights?
