Developing strength and stability in the lower body and abdominal area greatly help anyone suffering from chronic back pain. Necessary to keeping a yoga routine is diligence. It is also best to receive instruction from a certified teacher. A randomized trial of the benefits of Iyengar yoga for people with chronic back pain showed that this program is more therapeutic than conventional physical therapy. The study had 60 participants who had been experiencing back pain for at least 11 years. Almost half of them used pain medication.

These changes are learned individually, with emphasis on reaching a relaxed state that helps in coping with back pain.
