Small study highlights yoga’s huge potential for people with rheumatoid arthritis

People with rheumatoid arthritis could enjoy far-reaching benefits if they take up yoga, says new research in Rheumatology International.
Enhanced joint health, reduced pain severity and decreased disease activity were just some of the advantages experienced by people with rheumatoid arthritis who practiced regular yoga for three months whilst taking their standard treatments.
Whilst new generations of rheumatoid arthritis drugs have helped many people bring their symptoms under control, many still endure inadequate relief. This study of 10 people suggests that “yoga practice may enhance patients’ quality of life and alleviate disease symptoms. Further research is warranted to validate these findings.”
