Viniyoga Therapy for the Low Back, Sacrum & Hips with Gary Kraftsow Review
First, always watch this or any yoga or exercise DVD at least one time BEFORE doing the exercises. Determine if any of the exercises might hurt you or if you need to modify. While modifications are not given, you can figure out your own. Moreover, there are few stretches here (and I call them that because they're not at all strenuous) that would be hard for too many people. Certainly some of us, myself included, can't put our legs straight up with no bend in the knee. But we must go only to our own degree. Never push beyond what you're able to do. You get no benefit doing that.
These are short therapeutic exercises --- from twenty to thirty minutes each. They provide much relief from pain and are designed in a manner that works. What's more, there is a lot of information given on the DVD, including instructions on how to do each exercise. I advise you to watch every bit of it.
I have a wonderful book on the anatomy of stretching and it includes working on the lower back and hips. You might want to read about it here Stretching Anatomy. And you might want to add it to your arsenal of help. But, getting back to this DVD, I find that while it doesn't cover all the stretches in the above-mentioned book, it is a wonderful way to relieve any pain you may have, regardless of how bad it might be. Moreover, if you don't do something to work on those painful areas, you could end up not being able to get around at all.
I was having moderate to severe pain in my lower back and hip and this DVD was of tremendous help to me.
I highly advise anyone with problems or pain in the lower back or hips to get this DVD. It's excellent therapy that anyone can apply and it's superior to most of the yoga videos I've seen.
