Breaking Barriers: Restoring Shoulder Mobility Through Iyengar Yoga: A Case Report.
Background: Iyengar yoga is distinct for its methodical approach, emphasizing precise alignment and clear, detailed instructions.
Case study: This case study explores the experience of a 67-year-old male who had restricted shoulder movement for 14.5 years following a traumatic injury. Despite 1.5 years of rigorous physical therapy, he had accepted his limitations as permanent. In 2023, he joined Iyengar yoga group classes without specifically seeking shoulder rehabilitation.
Outcome: Over time, he noticed improvement, prompting the author (CIYT and class instructor) to observe his movement patterns and provide targeted modifications. After a year of consistent practice, he regained 170° of shoulder flexion, significantly improving from an initial 110°.
Conclusion: This case highlights Iyengar yoga's rehabilitative potential, demonstrating how it facilitates recovery, restores function, and enhances quality of life, even in chronic musculoskeletal conditions. The findings encourage further exploration of Iyengar yoga as an effective therapy for such conditions.
期刊介绍：
Launched in 1995, Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine has a mission to promote the art and science of integrative medicine and a responsibility to improve public health. We strive to maintain the highest standards of ethical medical journalism independent of special interests that is timely, accurate, and a pleasure to read. We publish original, peer-reviewed scientific articles that provide health care providers with continuing education to promote health, prevent illness, and treat disease. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine was the first journal in this field to be indexed in the National Library of Medicine. In 2006, 2007, and 2008, ATHM had the highest impact factor ranking of any independently published peer-reviewed CAM journal in the United States—meaning that its research articles were cited more frequently than any other journal’s in the field.
Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine does not endorse any particular system or method but promotes the evaluation and appropriate use of all effective therapeutic approaches. Each issue contains a variety of disciplined inquiry methods, from case reports to original scientific research to systematic reviews. The editors encourage the integration of evidence-based emerging therapies with conventional medical practices by licensed health care providers in a way that promotes a comprehensive approach to health care that is focused on wellness, prevention, and healing. Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine hopes to inform all licensed health care practitioners about developments in fields other than their own and to foster an ongoing debate about the scientific, clinical, historical, legal, political, and cultural issues that affect all of health care.
