According to the latest data from the Consumer Product Safety Commission, there are about 5,500 injuries caused by practicing yoga every year.
The New York Times reported that improper yoga practice led to an increase in injuries.
Some people say that this number is small, but it is reported that only two of the 10000 injured patients are counted, and the actual number of injured people is 5000 times that of this huge number, and more than 85% of the injured people are women.
A quarter of yoga practitioners have been injured.
A recent study in Taiwan Province Province also pointed out that some people who practice yoga for a long time will have problems such as intervertebral disc degeneration and wear due to incorrect posture or excessive force.
Orthopedic experts pointed out that "yoga disease" has gradually become a fashionable new disease. Muscle strain, ligament strain, cartilage injury, joint strain and neuromuscular pain are all common "yoga diseases", and there are also many cases of lumbar dislocation, disc herniation, cervical spine injury and spinal cord injury, which may even lead to paralysis.
