Many folk have already found relief from back pain through attending a yoga group. Now it's official. Arthritis Research UK sponsored a trial of two types of Yoga carried out in programmes run by professionaly trained yoga teachers. There was both a short term and long term benefit. 

The expert yoga teachers have set up a web site about their research-proven back care courses together with a list of qualified teachers. www.yogaforbacks.co.uk.

Information on the trial and the Healthy Backs Programme can be found on www.yogatrial.co.uk.
