How to relieve cauda equina neuralgia? Here are five yoga poses to relieve cauda equina neuralgia. China Yoga Alliance to answer!

1, sitting spine manipulation torsion method:

● First sit on the floor with your legs apart.

● Bend the right leg and place the heel of the right foot on the outside of the left hip.

● Bend the left leg and put it on the outside of the right leg.

● Put your left hand behind your back, close to your body. Let it go. Used to support the spine and maintain the integrity of posture.

● Put your right hand on your right knee. Then either put your elbow outside your left knee or put your arm around your left knee. Which one to choose depends on how you feel today. If the pain gets worse, make a gentle hug. If you don't feel pain, try to touch your knee more closely with your elbow.

● Pull up the elongated body with inhaled breath, and then soften the created space with exhaled breath ● Focus on the outside of the left leg, buttocks, crotch and lower back area. Pay attention to the depth of your stretching, whether it is healing your pain or aggravating it.

Recommended props/adjustments:

Put a blanket under the seat to help the pelvis tilt and make the spine longer and have room.

As for the placement of arms, I mentioned the way of elbows and hugs. I strongly recommend that patients with cauda equina neuralgia/piriformis myalgia adjust their hugs. Once you twist your elbow beyond your knee, this pose will extend deeper into your hip, which is useless for treating piriformis/cauda equina neuralgia.

Needle-eye type

Operation method:

● Lie on your back, bend your knees and land on your feet.

● The right ankle crosses the left thigh and is placed directly above the right knee.

● Cross your hands on your legs and hold the back of your thighs tightly.

● Use the strength of your arms to gently pull your legs to your chest.

● Keep your feet bent and protect your knees.

Practice this pose on both sides and breathe completely five times on each side.

Cross your legs and bend forward.

Operation method:

● The right ankle crosses the left ankle, with the right leg in front and the left leg behind. Try to align the two little toes.

● You can bend your knees at will and align your little fingers and toes.

● The chest, head and neck face the floor.

● Put your hands on the floor or yoga bricks and try to relax.

● Send the breath to the outside of the left leg until the hip area. I'm sure you can feel this stretch, and you'll like it very much. So please-take a deep breath!

Recommended adjustment method:

If your cauda equina neuralgia is caused by spine, I suggest not to do this pose or try it. Not worth it.

Standing needle eye type

Operation method:

● Put two yoga bricks in front and stand on the longest side of the yoga bricks.

● First, cross the left ankle with the right thigh (above the knee).

Lower your hips and put your hands on the yoga bricks in front of you.

● Stretch your back and keep it flat.

● Send the breath to the outside of the left leg-especially the thigh, crotch and buttocks.

● When the piriformis begins to relax, you can freely lower the height of the yoga brick or directly touch the ground with your fingertips.

Practice this pose on both sides and breathe completely five times on each side.

Recommended props/adjustments:

Use two yoga bricks to help support and find a deeper but softer posture to release. When the piriformis and buttocks begin to open, you can slowly lower the height of the yoga brick.

If you can't stand, then continue to do the supine pose above.

Supine needle eye type+foam shaft

Operation method:

● First, sit on the ground and place a foam shaft under your hips.

Put your body in the posture shown in Figure 4.

● Put your hands behind your back for support and stability.

● Before rolling the foam shaft, lift your hips and put them on the outside of your crossed thighs. You can clearly know how to do this through pictures.

● Start moving up and down on the yoga column and massage the piriformis.

When you massage here, breathe air into your body. This is an incredible affection, so breathing is very important to it.

When you want to practice, practice this pose on both sides However, please be kind to yourself and don't practice too much.
