The Problem
Back pain develops from long sitting hours, weak spinal muscles, poor posture, and stress. The lower back (lumbar spine) carries the body’s weight — when posture collapses, it becomes overloaded
What Happens Inside the Body
The spine has natural curves that act like springs.
When you sit long or bend repeatedly:
• The lumbar curve flattens
• Vertebrae press closer
• Discs lose space
• Paraspinal muscles tighten to protect the spine
• Hamstrings and hip flexors shorten, pulling the pelvis out of alignment
This creates stiffness, radiating pain, and difficulty bending or standing for long.
How Therapeutic Yoga Helps
Therapy focuses on creating space, releasing tightness, and supporting the spine with props.
Methods Used
- Supported spinal traction using belts and chairs
- Restorative backbends to open the chest and reduce lumbar load
- Hamstring and hip flexor stretches to balance pelvic tilt
- Core strengthening to stabilize the lower back
- Relaxation techniques to release nerve pressure
