More than 1.5 million U.S. adults suffer from rheumatoid arthritis (RA), according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Recently, a team of researchers from the United Arab Emirates announced that yoga-based therapies may reduce pain and increase mobility for people with RA.
This conclusion, which the group presented at the European League Against Rheumatism's 2011 Annual Congress, was based on an experiment performed among 47 individuals with RA. In all, 26 were led through 12 sessions of yoga.
The Emirati scientists discovered that RA patients who did the yoga-based self healing techniques reported improved quality if life and decreased pain levels.
These findings may be good news for the 50 million adults whom the CDC estimates suffer from arthritis, gout, lupus or fibromyalgia.
