Yoga 'effective in treating chronic neck pain'
Posted: December 2, 2012 at 5:45 am
Washington, December 2 (ANI): Yoga appears to be an effective treatment for neck pain and provides added benefits of improved psychological well being and quality of life, researchers say.
The mainstay of conservative treatment for neck pain is non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, and the evidence of its effectiveness is contradictory while side effects like nausea and dizziness are well known.
The authors noted that one type of yoga, called lyengar yoga, has been shown effective in other pain syndromes, including low back pain.
This activity uses supportive props and the sequences of postures can be tailored to address an individual's medical problem. No randomized controlled clinical trials have been published to assess the efficacy of lyengar yoga for adults with chronic neck pain.
Researchers at Charite-University Medical Center in Berlin and other sites in Germany and Austria studied 77 volunteer patients.
38 were assigned to the yoga group and 39 to a group treated with exercise. Unfortunately, the dropout rate was higher than anticipated as 24 subjects withdrew or were lost to follow-up.
This reduced the study sample to 25 patients in the yoga group and 28 in self-care exercise. They were asked to complete a standardized questionnaire at the outset of the study, after four weeks, and after ten weeks.
The findings showed there was a significant and clinically important reduction in pain intensity in the yoga group. The authors reasoned that yoga might enhance both the toning of muscles and releasing of muscle tension. Relaxation responses, therefore, could reduce stress related muscle tension and modify neurobiological pain perception.
They concluded, based on the study data, that lyengar yoga can be a safe and effective treatment option for chronic neck pain. The study results are consistent with the demonstrated benefits of yoga for treating low back pain.
The study has been published in The Journal of Pain. (ANI)

Benefits of life coaching, how to be successful in life
Benefits of life coaching http://www.theinevitableyou.com First of all, coaching cannot make you successful. At the end of the day you can have the most amazing coaching, you still have to go out on the field of strife, you still have to go out to the competitive reality of this planet and compete to win and compete to have the things you want. What coaching can do to show you how to be successful in life is help you see different paths, understand tools, learn the latest and greatest in psychology, and techniques and strategies. Because the very biggest problem for most people is they are trying to create success in the current year and are using strategies taught to them 20, 30, 40 years ago by men and women who were brilliant then in a time frame when it worked for them. But you really have to look at if your strategies are current with this world and inside-out, is it you, is it what you want, are you doing this strategy or tool because it was your father #39;s or a teacher at school, or it worked for you five or ten years ago. So the planet is a little bit harder so you are going to do it louder and more intensely, that #39;s not how you get success that #39;s how things feel hard. If you bring your strategies and tools and techniques up to current or even future years then I want to be successful becomes far easier. A life coach that can stand outside the forest and say "Hey there #39;s a tree, move aside, move around," coaching will have a great perspective at times to help you do this ...From:William SumnerViews:4 0ratingsTime:04:14More inEducation

Affirmative Life Coaching - Spring Break - Helping the Youth - Helping the community
Filmed video of at-risk youth learning leadership skills about life and what to do when tough issues come up in life. Help teaching them to be leaders and not followers. I filmed this and edited it for free for these kids and it was a lot fun working with a diverse group of youth. I been there done that and talked about some of my issues. The project was created and maintained by a new great group called Affirmative Life Coaching. They had small elementary kids on one side and other high school on other side. Fun time also during breaks. This was during our city #39;s Spring Break and gave them other fun stuff to do rather then be out on the streets during spring break. We cant tell the kids what to do and not do, but we can tell them the truth about the consequences of going down wrong road. For the ones getting out of high school, we connected them with scholarships chances and help out there. More out there then just the hood. Keeping it real, told them my life growing up and how I made it. Let them play in front of camera and rap. There very talented. I wish I had opportunities that Affirmative Life Coaching has now. Much respect and God Bless all the kids who participated and hope they they become leaders and do good. Please helpFrom:HigherImageZViews:0 0ratingsTime:11:47More inNonprofits Activism
