Abstract

Therapeutic Yoga can be especially well-suited to aiding in the rehabilitation of knee injuries. This article discusses some common types of knee injuries and how Yoga can help rehabilitate some knee injuries. Specific âsanas for the knees are discussed, as well as how to work with the wellness of the whole person through âsana, prânâyâma, and meditation. Consideration is given to how Yoga therapists can work with other healthcare providers to improve the safety and efficacy of Yoga therapy. Two case studies of knee rehabilitation through Yoga therapy (one in a group class setting, and one in private Yoga therapy) are described, including details of the Yoga interventions that helped both individuals avoid surgical intervention.
