    About this ebook

    Excessive contact and friction of two adjacent joint surfaces may intensify arthritis. One of the reasons may be the presence of calcium crystals in some patients, these diamonds cutting into the joint surface. Yoga separates these two surfaces. On the other hand, an apparent paradox appears: poor contact and friction don’t stimulate the cartilage, and it is not recovered and renewed. The substantial shift of the surfaces pressing against each as a consequence of improper biomechanics also destroys the cartilage. In this case, yoga makes a perfect way out as it stimulates the joint surfaces to restore and prevents excessive shifts, ruptures and the appearance of destructive forces at the same time.

    Moreover, we know that the joint has small connecting components not involved in full volume. This means that the surfaces sliding forward and backward relative to one another, start, in fact, knitting. In the worst cases, the joint becomes immovable. Yoga removes such bone unions gradually.

    Yoga poses, or asanas, recover the knee joint flexibility, strengthen muscles and ligaments which surround it. Due to yoga, your knees will become stronger and healthier, will be able to resist heavy loads and will be less subject to damages.

    Nevertheless, in the course of yoga practice, anyone can also injure his/her knees. Although yoga for knees is applied very successfully, the knees may get hurt at the wrong method. How? This may be a foolish attempt to master some yoga pose, for example, the Lotus Pose, for which you must first develop excellent flexibility and strength of your knee joints. Moreover, a person may damage the knees during yoga classes while applying too much effort, exerts himself/herself too much to achieve perfection in the asana. In other words, one should practice yoga regularly, and master the yoga poses gradually, moving from simple to complex ones.

      Chapter 1

      How Can Yoga Help at Joint Wear?

      Yoga restores the movement amplitude

      Imagine that you should live without the lung or kidney. You would do your best to save one of these vital organs. Nevertheless, the most of us deprive our joints of half of their functions, without supporting their natural movement amplitude. Sounds ridiculous? Try to squat down or sit on the floor with your legs crossed. If you didn’t succeed in this, then you lost the most of the natural range of movements in the knee joint and the hip joint. When practicing at joint wear, yoga has a striking feature to restore your ability to use your bones fully. Moreover, the mobility limitation degree in either joint is directly connected with the degree of disability obtained by this joint. In patients with knee joint osteoarthritis, the decrease of movement amplitude in hip and ankle joints are regularly observed.

      Yoga restores the joints

      ‘M y sore joints!’ you will exclaim. But in fact, these are not your joints that hurt. Their surfaces have no nerve terminals. The pain you feel appears not in the joint but the tissues surrounding it: in muscles, sinews, ligaments and other components. All these structures can be recovered. Mostly, the pain you feel is the secondary effect from the wear of structures around the joint, so, if you rescue them, the pain will vanish. Moreover, because you improve the sense of balance and coordination, you protect your joints from further destruction. Slight pressing on the cartilage stimulates it to self-recovery if there are no quick thrusts or sudden load. Moreover, you prevent the joint secondary damage because pain and constraints made your movements awkward, applying the destructive load to your joints. For example, significant restraint of popliteal muscles may make you walk with legs bent, thus using the excessive pressure to the joint.

      Keep in mind that osteoarthritis is not just a painful condition of the joint cartilage – it affects all the joint tissues surrounding it, including the bone.

      Yoga favors the joint surface
