Effects Of Down-Dog Yoga On Pain And Posture In Children With Nonspecific Low Back Pain

58 participantsStarted 2025-12-20

Plain-language summary

To manage back pain and correct postural imbalances in children, Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) promotes flexibility, core strength, and spinal alignment. Traditional physiotherapy may seem repetitive and less engaging for kids. Yoga offers a developmentally appropriate, non-invasive, and enjoyable alternative. Studying its effectiveness could provide a simple, affordable, and accessible therapy option.
