Yoga's pain management techniques may help college students.

College students may be susceptible to a delusion common among all youth: invincibility. Hence all the keggers, the Freshman Fifteen or, for more studious individuals, all-night cram sessions. But even though back pain may not be a big worry in this population, small problems that aren't addressed early may become major issues in the future, one reporter wrote in The Daily Nexus. However, the pain management techniques of yoga can nip this problem in the bud.

One study conducted at the University of York, and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, demonstrated that yoga may be more effective in treating back pain than other exercises, the news source said. Furthermore, subjects who practiced yoga experienced improvements in back function, flexibility and mood.

"[Given] all the hours we spend sitting at home or in class, we can all benefit from weekly yoga on the beach for both our physical and mental health," Kiyan Rajabi wrote in The Daily Nexus.

Any college students interested in Dahn Yoga pain management should feel free to pop their head in on a class. After all, this mind-body regimen isn't just beneficial for back pain, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. It may also help improve physical strength and stress management ability.
