Yoga for a healthy back in Whitley Bay
Back pain is a very common problem and most sufferers don’t even seek help from their doctor. 85% of people with back pain do not have a specific diagnosis – they may be told that they have a ‘non-specific back pain’, a ‘muscular’ or ‘mechanical’ problem.
Our Dru Yoga for back pain class is coming to Whitley Bay this autumn – if you have back pain and would like to consider yoga, then this may well be for you.
Why Dru Yoga for Back Pain?
The current medical opinion based on extensive research is that the back needs to move – and the sooner you get moving and back to your normal activities, the sooner you will feel better.
Evidence based yoga
NICE guidelines recommend that people with back pain should be told it should settle without major treatment. The Dru yoga for back pain course is an evidence based approach to working with back pain: in this course you will get moving with gentle yoga performed with awareness. The yoga for back pain course I am bringing to Whitley Bay has been proven to be an ideal treatment for many people with back pain – reducing symptoms and resulting in less days off work and more enjoyment from life. This is backed up by recent research which provides even more evidence that this Dru yoga course in particular is very effective for managing back pain. *
Exercise gets your back moving again by stretching tight muscles and joints which stops the working parts seizing up.

Evidence based yoga
*Recently two randomised controlled trials at Bangor University have investigated the efectivemenss of the Dru yoga for backcare Programme. The results of the two studies show that compared with the usual care the Dru yoga programme is associated with statistically significant reductions in back pain. IN addition to these studies the Dru yoga for Back pain programme has been successfully integrated into rehabilitation and injury prevention programmes for professional athletes in the UK.
