The role of yoga therapy in an integrative pain management plan

It’s well known that practicing yoga can provide many benefits to both the body and mind, but did you know research suggests that yoga therapy can be an especially helpful tool for managing pain? In this month’s episode of the Pain Waves podcast, we’re joined by two guests to learn more about the benefits of yoga therapy for managing chronic pain. Neil Pearson, Physiotherapist, Yoga Therapist and UBC Clinical Assistant Professor, talks about the recent paper he co-authored summarizing the current research on the value of yoga therapy in a comprehensive integrative pain management plan, and explores areas of research that still need to be investigated further.
