1. Yoga Vs
Arthritis

2. Introduction
• Life becomes no less than hell when simple daily activities like
sleeping, eating food, changing clothes, and brushing becomes
difficult. Such people fight with life daily; they lose every day
and win every day. This is an everyday fight for the patient of
rheumatoid arthritis.
• It is a common belief that arthritis manifests after the age
of 40. Unfortunately, in today’s scenario, this age had come
down to 20, due to a poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle. Due
to arthritis, people reduce their daily physical activities. This
reduction makes their condition worse (Discussed in the latter
part of this article).

3. Out of many types of arthritis, Osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis are
most common. The difference between these two is as follow:

4. • In simple language, osteoarthritis manifests due to the
degradation of cartilage in the joint. Following factors play a
pivotal role in the occurrence of osteoarthritis:
1. Genetic factors
2. Sports injuries
3. Bad postural habits (Most important and most common)
• Due to the drying of synovial fluid, bones of the joint start
rubbing each other. That is why patients of osteoarthritis
experience unbearable pain in the joint. Generally, it starts
from a particular joint, and thereafter, it affects most of
the joints in the body and could even paralyze the individual.

6. The symptoms mentioned above become worse, when a
patient of arthritis, also deals with stress and
inactivity. Let us see HOW?
Often, the patient of arthritis decreases his physical
activity.76% of the people with arthritis are
inadequately active, which results in weak muscles and
ligaments. Conversely, regular light physical activity
decreases inflammation and pain. Thus, light physical
activity should be part of the treatment of almost all
arthritis patients. Exercise reduces pain and fatigue,
maintain range of motion, and improves joint stability
and muscle mass.
Very Important point

7. Let us see these two simple flow charts for better
understanding: (the choice is yours)

8. Critical discussion
• If you choose the second flow chart. Then the movement of the body simply
distributes synovial fluid on the surface of cartilage, which in turn lubricates
joint surface and thus reduces wear and tear.
• 3 methods for management of arthritis:
1. Drugs
2. Surgical intervention
3. Non-pharmacological intervention
Out of these 3 options to treat arthritis, 3rd one is most appropriate (which
includes yoga). Because it is adaptable, affordable, and free from side effects.
Thus, Non-pharmacological intervention is considered as the best mode of
treatment for arthritis.

9. Continued…
Yoga always promotes holistic life, which is free
from drugs and unites the physical, mental, and
spiritual aspects of human beings. Ideally, yoga with
its components like asana (strength and balance),
pranayama (decreases muscle tension), and
meditation (relaxation and mindfulness) are best
suited for osteoarthritis (OA) and Rheumatoid
arthritis (RA).
One major advantage of yoga is that it could be
modified individually and is gentle on joints. Yoga
reduces the level of cortisol. Subsequently, it
reduces stress levels.
