Yoga Therapy for Back Pain in Arlington, MA
If you're living with chronic back pain, one-on-one yoga therapy in Arlington offers a slower, more individualized path than a group class — one built around your spine, your history, and your daily life.
What Back Pain Conditions I Work With
I work with students managing spondylolisthesis, spinal osteoarthritis, herniated and bulging discs, and sciatica. Each of these responds differently to movement, and the first session is spent understanding which positions relieve your pain and which provoke it.
What a Yoga Therapy Session Looks Like
We begin with an intake conversation about your history, imaging if you have it, and what your days actually demand of you. From there I build a practice of breathwork, gentle mobility, and strengthening that you can do at home between sessions.
Yoga or Pilates for Back Pain?
Pilates for back pain tends to suit people who want structured strengthening through the deep core, drawing on mat work, props, and the full range of studio equipment including the reformer. Yoga therapy suits people who need to address breath, stress, and pain perception alongside movement. As both a certified Pilates instructor and a yoga therapist, I'll recommend whichever serves you.
