Can I practice yoga if I have frozen shoulder?

People's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and various diseases have appeared in people's bodies. Some of these diseases are more serious, but some are not very serious. Regardless of whether they are serious or not, they will affect our normal activities to a certain extent. So, will you lose weight by insisting on practicing yoga? According to the answers given by some experts, if you have periarthritis of the shoulder, it is best not to practice yoga. Let us take a look at the reasons.

Long-term desk work in the office will affect the blood circulation of local joints, causing abnormal circulation of qi and blood, qi stagnation and blood stasis. The tendons and muscles in the shoulders are particularly prone to oxygen deprivation, which is the main cause of shoulder stiffness and limited mobility. In addition, facing the computer every day, lack of exercise, and poor cervical spine will also affect the shoulders.

Practicing yoga can improve blood circulation in the shoulder, remove rheumatism from the shoulder joint and surrounding muscle tissue, and fully nourish the muscles, tendons, bursae, joint capsules and other tissues surrounding the shoulder joint, as well as blood vessels and nerves.

The movement of the shoulder joint is mainly related to the movement of the arm. The movements of the arm mainly include forward and backward extension, abduction and adduction, raising and lowering, external rotation and internal rotation, etc. The muscles involved in the movement of the shoulder joint and arm mainly include the deltoid, pectoralis major, pectoralis minor, latissimus dorsi, trapezius, rhomboids, etc. When choosing yoga postures, one should follow the different symptoms and differences of the individual, and follow the principle of not causing new injuries, not aggravating existing symptoms, and gradually alleviating them, and choose some simple, gentle and practical yoga postures in a targeted manner.

Combining the theory and practice of yoga therapy, the following yoga postures are recommended as the main postures for prevention and auxiliary treatment: Triangle pose, Warrior II, Cow Face pose, Downward Dog pose, Camel pose, Spinal twist and Tree pose. These asanas are best practiced in a professional yoga studio. In addition, during the initial practice, some postures can be achieved with the help of auxiliary tools to achieve better results.

Frozen shoulder is also known as periarthritis of the shoulder, commonly known as frozen shoulder and frozen shoulder. It is a chronic specific inflammation of the shoulder capsule and its surrounding ligaments, tendons and bursae, with the main symptoms being gradual onset of shoulder pain, especially at night, which gradually worsens and limits the shoulder joint function and becomes increasingly severe. It gradually eases after reaching a certain level until it finally recovers completely. Scapulohumeral periarthritis is a common disease with shoulder joint pain and difficulty in movement as the main symptoms. The disease is most common in people around 50 years old, with a slightly higher incidence in women than in men, and is more common in manual laborers. If not effectively treated, the functional activities of the shoulder joint may be seriously affected. There may be widespread tenderness in the shoulder joint, radiating to the neck and elbow, and varying degrees of atrophy of the deltoid muscle may also occur.

Will I lose weight if I practice yoga regularly? Obviously, this is not possible, because frozen shoulder is a disease that occurs in the shoulder, and when we do yoga, the range of motion is relatively large, which will worsen the disease to a certain extent. Therefore, it is better for patients with frozen shoulder to cure their disease first and then practice yoga. This will not delay the treatment of the disease.
