An online study published on October 24 in Annals of Internal Medicine found that stretching, regardless of whether it is achieved via yoga classes or conventional stretching exercises, has moderate benefits in adults with moderately impairing chronic low back pain.
In a comparative effectiveness study, researchers found that yoga classes were more effective than a self-help book, but not more effective than stretching classes, in improving function and reducing symptoms resulting from chronic low back pain, with benefits lasting at least several months.
These results are encouraging and at Peninsula Spine & Sports Rehabilitation, I have encouraged my patients to take a more active role in managing their chronic low back pain.
