Yoga for Scleroderma: A therapeutic program of yoga poses and breathing techniques selected for their benefit to symptoms of scleroderma.
This practice consists of a sequence of reclining exercises, standing poses, and breathing and relaxation techniques. All are performed with modifications for physical limitations associated with scleroderma and all can be done while sitting on the edge of or lying on a bed.
This program is available on video and DVD, funded by a grant from the Texas Bluebonnet Chapter, and distributed exclusively as a fundraiser by the Scleroderma Foundation.

This practice consists of a sequence of seated and reclining exercises, with a complete section on exercises for your hands. All are performed with the assistance of a caregiver, with complete instruction for both the individual and the caregiver. All can be done while sitting or lying on a bed. The practice also includes nine guided relaxations to relieve stress and physical discomfort, and to improve circulation and sleep. |
